Kobe Bryant has no intention of playing for any other NBA team besides the Los Angeles Lakers.

Bryant responded to comments from Phil Jackson suggesting he could continue his playing career but not with the Lakers.

"I don't think it's his last year," Jackson said. "Sounds like it might be his last year as a Laker."

 

Bryant is entering his 20th season with the Lakers, which is also the final season of his current contract.

"A lot of players want to go to different teams or contend to win championships," Bryant told Yahoo Sports at the conclusion of the Lakers' media day on Monday. "I'm a Laker, man. I'm a Laker for better or worse."

 

Bryant remains undecided on his plans for 16-17.

"I'm a Laker, man. How many times do I have to say that?" Bryant said "Dude, I bleed purple and gold."

 

Bryant missed 47 games last season, most because of a right rotator cuff injury that required surgery.
