Script:
SOUNDBITE (English) Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers Guard (On negotiations)
"The (Los Angeles) Lakers came up with the structure with a system and a plan that they thought was a win-win for everybody involved. And from my perspective, it was very easy to just accept it. So it was pretty quick."
SOUNDBITE (English) Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers Guard (On criticism that contract will hamper team from adding another star and on contract)
"We have the ability to do something special. And we'll have to see what happens. The Lakers, there a stand-up organisation and they just stepped up to the plate and took care of me. I mean some of it obviously was from work previously done and the values and some of the things that I brought to the organisation. And some of it is a leap of faith of what they expect me to do when I return."
