The L.A. Lakers’ Kobe Bryant has been contemplating life after basketball since he was 22. Now that he’s 36, out due to injury and close to retirement, he says he’ll play one more season and finish his two-year contract, which will net him $25 million. But his recent experience as the subject and executive producer of the intimate doc Kobe Bryant’s Muse — produced by Gotham Chopra (Deepak’s son) and airing Feb. 28 on Showtime — has opened up the possibility of a career behind the lens. “There are so many other stories to be told,” he says, adding that he’d like to profile Phil Jackson and Apple designer Jonathan Ive.

Kobe Bryant, whose 19th season ended after he had surgery on a torn right rotator cuff, will play one more year with the Lakers and then retire, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The 36-year-old, who has played in Los Angeles his entire career after initially being drafted by the Charlotte Hornets in 1996, will finish his two-year contract, which will give him $25 million.

Anchor/reporter for ABC Rob Nelson tweeted early Friday evening that Bryant confirmed the news.

To me he's been done the last couple years with those injuries.I'm suprised he made it this far.The body has only so much playtime in it and he started at 18?
