    Yeeeeeeeaaaahhhh...

    Thinking about it, I highly doubt he would go overseas, or at least not until he wins another championship in the NBA. Kobe wants to be the best, or one of the best players ever in the league. He likes challenges. If he were to go over and play somewhere in Europe, where guys like Josh Childress and Juan Carlos Navarro are considered stars, he would absolutely dominate everything in sight. It probably would be cool for a little bit, but I'm sure he'll start missing the challenges of the NBA. Not to mention he'd probably also have to move his family along with him. Not sure how Vanessa or the kids would feel about that, regardless of the amount he'd be getting paid.

    If Kobe goes to Poland the Russians will rebuild the USSR, the iron curtain, and Kobe will be officially be playing for them.

    I love your thinking. Join us!


    Kobe in Russia would be huge. I really don't like the idea of all these big stars heading (possibly) overseas. Not one bit.


    I don't know how much he'll love the living style in Russia, though. It's not America, I'll tell you that.
