For the 2014-15 Los Angeles Lakers, bright spots are hard to come by.
After another dismal performance saw the team blow a late lead and lose in overtime to the Milwaukee Bucks, the focus is anywhere but here. Fortunately for the fans, Kobe Bryant is still providing things to smile about, even if they aren't happening on the court.

Bryant is still planning on a return next season, telling Bleacher Report's Kevin Ding that he's aiming for a San Antonio-style revival - the point clearly being that Bryant wants to stay on top long after most fans thought he'd be finished.
