Italian Basketball Team Offers Kobe Bryant $600,000 Per Game

Kobe has been offered $600,000 per home game to play for Virtus Bologna in the Italian league during the NBA Lock Out. The offer would start on Nov. 13th when the Italian team starts playing and just in case the Lock Out comes to a sudden end, his deal would have to have an NBA opt out to get him out of his contract stress and worry free so he can return to the states.

Kobe wouldn't be entirely out of his element either. For those of you that may not remember, he has Italian roots, having lived there for years while his father played in Italy. He loves the country and speaks fluent Italian.

I say go for it... Hell, what is there to lose? especially with that clause in his contract.

He was in L.A. and I got [there] that day around the VMAs or whatever. He actually pushed back the mastering, we went to mastering with no Jay-Z verse. I was like ‘oh okay cool, I guess he can’t do it.

“They were mastering the last song, and this is such a Jay-Z move, he called in and stopped the mastering and pushed it back like a week. Only he can do that.

Everything worked out, I’m a true believer that everything happens for a reason."
