Lakers' guard Kobe Bryant claims that he would consider playing in Italy for $50 million a year when he becomes a free agent next season, according to The Orange County Register.

"I'd go. I'd probably go," Bryant said when asked by a reporter if he would think about playing in Europe for an outrageous contract. "Like Milan or something like that, where I grew up."

Bryant's claim seems a little more substantial than that of LeBron James, who also claims he'd play overseas for $50 million a year, if only because of Bryant's history in Europe.

He spent a majority of his childhood in Italy while his father Joe was playing professional ball overseas.
