Kobe Bryant is not considering retiring despite his recent injury woes, saying instead that he is seeking a career "rebirth" after drawing inspiration from the San Antonio Spurs' recent success. Bryant, 36, acknowledged that he is unsure whether he can return from his latest season-ending injury during an interview with NBA TV. But the Los Angeles Lakers superstar was adamant that he doesn't plan to retire, especially after watching the veteran-laden Spurs win a fifth NBA championship under coach Gregg Popovich last season. "I can't say it is the end," Bryant said during the interview, which aired Monday night. "I thought the Spurs were done 20 years ago. Those guys are still winning. "So, to answer the question, I can't say this is the end of my era because I thought their [era] was done, and they're still there. So I'm hoping I can have the same rebirth."
