Kobe Bryant Playing Overseas?

Apparently Kobe Bryant feels it is never necessary to rest. Especially since he is coming off his 33rd birthday. There have been reports circulating ever since the NBA season went into a lockout that Kobe would consider playing overseas. First, it started out that he might join fellow NBAer overseas and join a club team in Turkey. Now the reports are saying that he is considering playing in Italy. Even Kobe himself is saying that he sees it as "very possible" that he plays over in Italy while the lockout is intact. Kobe was born in Germany because his dad played for a German club team. To me this seems to be the only reason why Kobe would go back there is because he is semi familiar with the area. Will just have to wait and see.  Espn Story
