Despite the addition of Anthony Davis to a LeBron James-led Los Angeles Lakers roster, Kobe Bryant reiterated his stance that there is a "zero percent" chance of him returning as a player at age 41 — with a new twist on his answer. "No, no, no," the 2016 retiree and future Hall of Famer told Turner Sports broadcasters Candace Parker and Kristen Ledlow when asked on their podcast if he would return for a guaranteed sixth championship. KOBE: No. No. No. No. I like my rings the hard way.
