Players like Julius Erving and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar announced in advance that they would be retiring at the end of the season, but Kobe Bryant doesn't plan on revealing his plans until the offseason.

"I don't know if I want a farewell tour because I want that competition," said Bryant. "I want the crowd being on top of you all the time. I wouldn't want a farewell tour. No. I wouldn't do that."

Bryant also called himself a "dinosaur" in light of the recent retirements of Grant Hill and Jason Kidd.

Bryant is signed through the 13-14 NBA season.
