Shaquille O’Neal Says Kobe Bryant Is Coming Out Of Retirement To Play With LeBron

Ever since LeBron James has signed with the Los Angeles Lakers, there have been rumors about Kobe Bryant coming out of retirement to play alongside James, for one final stint with the Lakers.

While I highly doubt that 39-year old Bryant actually wants to come back, it is fun to think about it. It is no secret that Kobe molded his own game around Michael Jordan, perfecting his moves, taking on the same persona, studying every single aspect of his game, and mirroring his killer mentality. We all know Jordan came back at a smiliar age, so…

Then again, Kobe had the perfect final game. There is no way that he’ll be able to have such a game again. It was just perfect.

TMZ Sports now talked to Shaq, and he (jokingly?) said that he believes Kobe will be coming back!

“Kobe coming back. You heard it here first.”
