Kobe Bryant is ready to retire from the NBA, but while he may want to put his feet up and relax, he's already fielding job offers from other sports franchises.

Having been compared to Michael Jordan throughout his basketball career, Bryant may be inclined to take the Indians' offer and see if he can one-up the Chicago Bulls legend on the diamond.

Jordan hit .202/.289/.266 with three home runs, 51 RBIs, and 30 stolen bases for the Chicago White Sox' Double-A affiliate in 1994.
