More quotes by Kobe Bryant
Winning takes precedence over all. There's no gray area. No almosts.
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
The hunger [to success] is the same, no matter what it is that you're doing. It's like an unquenchable thirst to learn more, or to feel like you could have done more, and to be brutally honest and self critical, which is very hard to do. It's easy, and human nature is to just blame somebody else. It's very, very hard to self assess.
Kobe Bryant
What I'm doing right now, I'm chasing perfection... and if I don't get it, I'm going to get this close.
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
It doesn't matter to me what place I get traded to. If I was traded someplace - I'd play anywhere.
Kobe Bryant
You just try to take it one day at a time, ... You step on the basketball floor and just play. It's fun. I'm comfortable with it.
Kobe Bryant
A lot of times things get blown out of proportion in a negative light, especially in the NBA, ... But there are a lot of players in the NBA who really care about the community and want to use their basketball-playing ability for a good cause.
Kobe Bryant
When you start training camp, you're building the tools necessary to win a championship. You have to have the patience.
Kobe Bryant
I was an idiot when I was a kid.
Kobe Bryant
Isn't the basis of a democracy to send somebody to Washington to bring something back for you? ... It isn't?
Kobe Bryant
You want me to own a team and deal with these rich, spoiled stubborn athletes, and try to get them to perform? No thank you.
Kobe Bryant
Everyting negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise.
Kobe Bryant
I'm focused on the task that lies ahead for us.
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
Being a leader, it's the art of trying to find the balance, the right times with each individual and what they need at that moment. It requires looking outward as opposed to looking inside.
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
Everybody has a different journey.
Kobe Bryant
