More quotes by Kobe Bryant
You have to rely on others to have success as a group.
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
I've played with IVs before, during and after games. I've played with a broken hand, a sprained ankle, a torn shoulder, a fractured tooth, a severed lip, and a knee the size of a softball. I don't miss 15 games because of a toe injury that everybody knows wasn't that serious in the first place.
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's a through line that connects all of us.
Kobe Bryant
Pooper scooper? Yeah, I've done it a few times. Every once in a while, you have to.
Kobe Bryant
Everybody has a different journey.
Kobe Bryant
There’s a reason why players that have multiple championships have multiple championships. There’s a certain characteristic and an understanding and knowledge and that’s not something that’s easily taught. You kind of have to go through it and it kind of has to be part of your DNA from the beginning.
Kobe Bryant
It's disgusting, but my father taught me when your mouth gets dry, just suck the sweat out of your own jersey. There's no bravado to any of it it's just a disgusting little trick.
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
You have to be true to who you are.
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
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
If you want to make history, you have to do historic things
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
Dropkick Murphys get me going, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana... plus, all the regular hip-hop stuff.
Kobe Bryant
I wear the number 10 Jersey for the US National Team in honour of the Greatest athlete I have ever seen: Messi.
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 love going one-on-one with someone. That's what I do. I've never lost. It's a whole different game, just to have them right in front of you and be able to do whatever you want.
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.
