Before we begin: Kobe Bryant is joking. Now, let’s dive into Bryant’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday night. The Los Angeles Lakers legend spoke about the team’s early-season struggles as the Lakers are settling into the LeBron James era with the team. Los Angeles has started the year 0-3.

Kimmel couldn’t help but ask Bryant how many games in a row it would take for him to un-retire, something he’s adamant he will not do.
