More quotes by Kobe Bryant
I don't just try to score. The challenge is elevating my teammates to be able to win a championship.
Kobe Bryant
You have to be true to who you are.
Kobe Bryant
I grew up in front of these people, and now they are seeing me as an 'older' young man.
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
I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. No matter what the injury - unless it's completely debilitating - I'm going to be the same player I've always been. I'll figure it out. I'll make some tweaks, some changes, but I'm still coming.
Kobe Bryant
Love me or hate me, it's one or the other. Always has been. Hate my game, my swagger. Hate my fadeaway, my hunger. Hate that I'm a veteran. A champion. Hate that. Hate it with all your heart. And hate that I'm loved, for the exact same reasons.

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
You have to rely on others to have success as a group.
Kobe Bryant
Everyone looks at your watch and it represents who you are, your values and your personal style.
Kobe Bryant
Dear Basketball, From the moment I started rolling my dad's tube socks and shooting imaginary game-winning shots ... I fell in love with you.
Kobe Bryant
He [Phil Jackson] is such a basketball genius in terms of the details of the game, the little nuances of the game and the rhythm of the game.
Kobe Bryant
Heroes come and go, but legends are forever.
Kobe Bryant
There's certain companies that line up with what the brand represents. There are other things that are more investment-focused.
Kobe Bryant
You have to be able to separate business from the love of the game. There were a lot of decisions made business-wise that I wasn't happy with, and I took a lot of blame over the years. But you have to be able to separate that from the love you have for the game.
Kobe Bryant
Difficulty is a nurse of greatness-a harsh nurse, who rocks her foster children roughly, but rocks them in strength and athletic proportion. The mind, grappling with great aims and wrestling with mighty impediments, grows by a certain necessity to the stature of greatness.
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've been watching Messi for some time now, and his ability to decide games and keep possession of the ball is amazing.
Kobe Bryant
You can't be held captive by the fear of failure or the fear of what people may say.
