i didnt see it all but he said he almost became a clipper or bull, and it was a real possibility, i dont know when that would have happened thoe. it was on comcast sports net. did anyone see the whole thing?
This was when he was an unrestricted free agent a season or two ago. John Paxson made a serious run at Bryant, and Jim Gray, extremely close to Bryant as an reporter, had reported at the time that the Bulls were given serious consideration by Kobe....The Clippers had a ton of cap space at the time, and they were seen as an alternative for Kobe to stay in LA, and get the max from the Clippers.
