More quotes by Kobe Bryant
I don't talk trash often, but when I do, I go for the jugular.
Kobe Bryant
We all can be masters at our craft, but you have to make sacrifices that come along with making that decision.
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
The Black Mamba collection of watches is me: It is my alter ego, so to speak. As I mentioned before, it is sharp, cutting edge and sleek which are characteristics I try to apply when I’m out there on the basketball court.
Kobe Bryant
I felt like when we came back from the All-Star break we needed everybody to feel like they were part of the team, ... I'm just trying to do whatever the team needs at any given time.
Kobe Bryant
If you don't believe in yourself...nobo dy else will.
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
My brain cannot process failure... It WILL not process failure
Kobe Bryant
I'm extremely willful to win, and I respond to challenges. Scoring titles and stuff like that... it sounds, well, I don't care how it sounds - to me, scoring comes easy. It's not a challenge to me to win the scoring title, because I know I can.
Kobe Bryant
I'm just so excited. We all are. We've been waiting for this [the gold medal] for years now and it's finally here. This meant so much. It just felt so good.
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
Each moment of my life I was dreaming of how great I could be, and continued working hard. Each time I closed my eyes I could see me shining bright like a sun.
Kobe Bryant
I don't just try to score. The challenge is elevating my teammates to be able to win a championship.
Kobe Bryant
Everyone looks at your watch and it represents who you are, your values and your personal style.
Kobe Bryant
What does perfection look like to me? Championship rings
Kobe Bryant
It doesn't matter to me what place I get traded to. If I was traded someplace - I'd play anywhere.
Kobe Bryant
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
I had some shots that I felt like I should've made I just didn't make them. I'm not going to shoot the ball great every night.
Kobe Bryant
I don't set out to make a really hot shoe, I set out to make a product that is true to where I am.
Kobe Bryant
If you want to make history, you have to do historic things
