Lakers guard Kobe Bryant feels great, even after an extended season involving a trip to the NBA Finals and an appearance at the Olympics, according to AFP.

"I honestly feel younger now than I did last year or a couple of years ago," Bryant says. "My legs feel great, and I feel good."

Bryant is averaging 14.7 points and 21.5 minutes per game in Beijing.

"I'm in a great spot right now with the US team, and the team back home, improvements that we've made, and feeling good," Bryant said.
