A couple of years before he retired, the ‘Black Mamba’ had a chance to join the Golden State Warriors‘ powerhouse.
In an interview with Alex Kennedy on the HoopsHype podcast, the five-time NBA champion revealed that his friend and General Manager of the Warriors Bob Myers offered him a chance to join Golden State’s team.
“Not seriously,” Bryant said while laughing. “I’ve known Bob Myers, over at Golden State, forever… My last All-Star game we had a chance to catch up, as we were staying at the same hotel. I got a chance to tell him congratulations on everything and he said ‘Hey listen, if there’s any chance you want to change your mind and play another year, you can always come here.’ But it’s all tongue-in-cheek, man.”
Imagine Kobe Bryant, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Steph Curry together on the same team. It would have been scary… to say the least.
