Kobe Bryant said he will not chase a sixth NBA championship.

“I’m just going to, like, hold on for dear life?” Bryant said when asked if he would stick around till he won another title. “I’m not the type of guy to do that. I’ll give you the great effort, my best effort, but if it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t happen.

“But I’ll be damned if it doesn’t.”

Bryant, 33, again hinted that he may retire after the 2013-14 season.

“That’s what I’m thinking, but I haven’t had any serious thoughts about it,” he said
