He's owned coffeehouse chains, restaurants, gyms, movie theatres, condominium complexes and, of course, small pieces of the Lakers (formerly) and Dodgers (currently).
Kobe Bryant isn't entirely sure what shape his post-playing career will take, but it won't involve being the next Magic.
"We don't have the same personality," Bryant said Friday. "I can't go around talking and smiling at people all day."
