Majority of Kobe Bryant’s life has been encompassed in basketball.  He entered the NBA right out of high school and has been in the league for 18 years.  He just added another two years by re-signing with the Los Angeles Lakers but what’s going to happen when that time is up?

Kobe Bryant says he’s “scared” about his future after basketball, although he’s embracing the challenge of finding something that he can be as passionate about as sports.

Bryant gives a peek into his life in a Showtime documentary airing in November. “Kobe Bryant’s Muse” covers much of last season, when Bryant was sidelined and the Lakers finished 27-55, the most losses in club history.

The unexpected time off last season forced Bryant to think about his post-basketball future.

“I’m afraid, too,” he said Friday at the summer TV critics’ meeting. “You really have to lean on muses and mentors going forward, just as I did as a kid. It’s about having that next wave of things, which is scary as hell, but it’s fun at the same time.”
