Kobe Bryant has signed a three-year contract extension with the Los Angeles Lakers, the team announced Friday.
The deal will keep Bryant a Laker through the 2013-14 season.
Bryant, 31, will be two months shy of his 36th birthday when his new deal runs out.
Bryant has spent his entire 14-year career in a Lakers uniform. The extension coincides with the length of the deals signed by teammates Pau Gasol and Ron Artest.
Bryant is averaging 27.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists this season. He's helped the Lakers win four NBA titles, including last season.
The 12-time All-Star was voted league MVP in 2008, when he helped the U.S. win a gold medal in the Beijing Olympics.
This season, he moved past Jerry West to become the Lakers' all-time leading scorer.
