Kobe Bryant Says His Successor Not on Lakers Roster

With only nine games left in his (Kobe Bryant) legendary career as of Sunday night, however, the team is on the hunt for his successor. Does Bryant think that anyone on the Lakers has earned that role yet?

“No.”

Not 2014 lottery pick Julius Randle? Or second-round steal and sophomore stud Jordan Clarkson? What about the Lakers’ second overall pick from a year ago, D’Angelo Russell?

“If you have to ask that question, the answer is already there,” proclaimed Kobe.
