More quotes by 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
I'm more than comfortable just sitting back and scoring 21, 22 points or whatever and getting 10, 11 assists whatever the case might be. More than comfortable with that. It's just a matter of the pieces that you have around you and what you can do to elevate everybody else.
Kobe Bryant
I've been watching Messi for some time now, and his ability to decide games and keep possession of the ball is amazing.
Kobe Bryant
There is power in understanding the journey of others to help create your own
Kobe Bryant
It's not about the number of hours you practice, it's about the number of hours your mind is present during the practice
Kobe Bryant
There's a difference [between taking a charge and flopping]. We all know what flopping is when we see it. The stuff that you see is where guys aren't really getting hit at all and are just flailing around like a fish out of water. That's kind of like, where are your balls at?
Kobe Bryant
It's different from being 21 and you think there's endless amount of opportunities. At 33, the ending is much, much closer.
Kobe Bryant
I don't talk trash often, but when I do, I go for the jugular.
Kobe Bryant
I have my own identity ... The whole Michael thing does drive me nuts sometimes because people won't leave it alone. He's bald, I have hair. He's almost 40, I'm 22. Seriously though, I wish people would let it be and let me just be Kobe.
Kobe Bryant
Winning takes precedence over all. There's no gray area. No almosts.
Kobe Bryant
Sometimes I do wonder what college would have been like. But I made my decision.
Kobe Bryant
I realize now that there's a strength in dunking that I can use to my advantage. When you dunk all the time it isn't as demoralizing to the opponent, but when you dunk at a key moment in the game you can use it to change the momentum.
Kobe Bryant
I didn't expect this award [the 2008 MVP] would come to me. I'm surprised. I've played pretty well in other seasons. Our team hasn't been as good. Things just fell into place.
Kobe Bryant
I'm playing against great players, playing against the best in the world. The competition-that's what I've always wanted.
Kobe Bryant
The motivation for me is just the game itself, just playing the game the right way and trying to win, compete every time I step out there on the floor. That's motivation enough for me to go out there and play well.
Kobe Bryant
Everyting negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise.
Kobe Bryant
I think that game is a testament to what happens when you put no ceiling to what you're capable of doing.
Kobe Bryant
You're my backbone. You're a blessing. You're a piece of my heart. You're the air I breathe. And you're the strongest person I know, and I'm so sorry for having to put you through this and having to put our family through this.
Kobe Bryant
It doesn't bother me at all. Do I hold any hard feelings? Not at all, ... Life is too short to sit around and hold grudges. I don't hold any whatsoever.
Kobe Bryant
Because we're old as sh*t. What do you want?
Kobe Bryant
