More quotes by Kobe Bryant

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
I don't just try to score. The challenge is elevating my teammates to be able to win a championship.

Kobe Bryant

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
When you start training camp, you're building the tools necessary to win a championship. You have to have the patience.
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
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
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
You can't go and anticipate what it is that you want to see. You just have to be present. Be where you are.
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.
