Hoopster Kobe Bryant has raised the prospect of extending his decorated NBA career until late 30s.
Speaking during a visit to Brazil Sunday, the 34-year-old Los Angeles Lakers guard said he was not yet considering retirement, reports Xinhua.
"I could easily see myself playing another three or four years," the five-time NBA championship winner said.
Bryant is currently recovering from surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon and remains hopeful of returning to the court by the end of the year.
"It (the recovery) is going well. I'm pretty much two months out of surgery and I'm walking. I can get up on my toes. I'm pleased with how it's going so far," he added.
A keen football fan, Bryant was at the Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador Saturday to see Brazil's 4-2 victory over Italy in the Confederations Cup.
