More quotes by Kobe Bryant
I've played with IVs before, during and after games. I've played with a broken hand, a sprained ankle, a torn shoulder, a fractured tooth, a severed lip, and a knee the size of a softball. I don't miss 15 games because of a toe injury that everybody knows wasn't that serious in the first place.

Kobe Bryant
My role is to make sure we're moving in the right direction, getting points, rebounds, steals, assists and providing leadership.
Kobe Bryant
There’s a reason why players that have multiple championships have multiple championships. There’s a certain characteristic and an understanding and knowledge and that’s not something that’s easily taught. You kind of have to go through it and it kind of has to be part of your DNA from the beginning.
Kobe Bryant
I feel like I just returned a 100-yard kickoff in the last two minutes of the Super Bowl to win it all, only to have my run called back by a flag on the play.
Kobe Bryant
If I panic, everyone else panics.
Kobe Bryant
What does perfection look like to me? Championship rings
Kobe Bryant
Thank god, I'm not from this world.
Kobe Bryant
There's been a lot of talk of me being a one-man show but that's simply not the case. We win games when I score 40 points and we've won when I score 10.
Kobe Bryant
Friends come and go but banners hang forever.
Kobe Bryant
As far as carrying the torch for the years to come, I don't know. I just want to be the best basketball player I can be.
