The people who truly know me know what I'm like. There have been people who try to say things that aren't fair, and I check them. And then they don't like me because I checked them.
Kobe Bryant
Image
I've pretty much done all I can here and, you know, God will carry me the rest of the way, so I'm pretty comfortable with that.
