Is Kobe Coming to Cleveland?
Kobe Bryant has an opt-out clause in his contract after this season. Kobe Bryant has already seen all of what Los Angeles has to offer. He has tried to be the cornerstone of the franchise and he hasn’t been able to get over the top since Shaq left. Now, after playing in the Olympics with LeBron James, Kobe probably thinks he can improve his career and legacy by moving to Cleveland. In Cleveland, he can share the court with another superstar like he did when Shaq was in Los Angeles. And this superstar, LeBron, is an unselfish player who can help Kobe cement his legacy as a hall of famer with multiple championships to finish his career.
So, while most people claim that big named players need to be in big cities, the truth is they just need to be in high profile situations winning multiple championships. Because of LeBron James, there is no better place to go and make that happen other than Cleveland.
So, now, all we have to do is find someone who is “close to Kobe Bryant” and lead them into saying that Kobe “would consider opting out of his contract” after the upcoming season. Then, we need to goad this same “insider” into saying something innocent like, “Kobe has really enjoyed playing in the Olympics with LeBron.” And then we can extrapolate (unnecessarily and idiotically) saying that it is possible, and possibly likely, that Kobe Bryant is going to opt out of his contract at the end of this season with the express purpose of coming to Cleveland to play with LeBron James and win championships.
You see? I am making a point. This is really the same way that the big media outlets speculate on LeBron going to NYC, or Europe. So how do you like me now?
Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you the first Kobe to Clevland rumor. Could it happen??!?!?!??!??

Hahah, I love it! Bring it on! Kobe to Cleveland in ‘09!!!
If you want a quote from me, I know a guy who knows a guy who used to sell stuff to this guy who did stuff for this girl who dated a guy who once played pickup basketball on the same team as this guy whose brother went to church with a guy who once went on a retreat with a guy who went to high school with a guy who moved to Italy and became friends with a guy who still talks to Kobe every now and then. He said Kobe always says that playing with LeBron makes the game so much easier. He also said something about Cleveland being his favorite city for eating hot dogs in. So, yeah, I’d say it’s at least a good chance Kobe will briefly think about possibly looking into playing here next year.
as a lakers fan, it would tear my heart apart to see kobe play anywhere besides LA [i can cope with him being on the clippers]. if he wants lebron so much, how about lebron join the lakers in 2010? that sounds MUCH better than kobe going to cleveland
i think we should fuse Kobe and LeBron’s DNA and make a superbaby
