More quotes by Kobe Bryant
What people see on court is another side of me it's not me.
Kobe Bryant
Everyting negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise.
Kobe Bryant
You're my backbone. You're a blessing. You're a piece of my heart. You're the air I breathe. And you're the strongest person I know, and I'm so sorry for having to put you through this and having to put our family through this.
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
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
We're grown ass men, you don't need to be falling all over the place.
Kobe Bryant
For us to be the team that got him that historic 10th championship is special for us.
Kobe Bryant
Nobody in the world can guard me one-on-one.
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
My parents are my backbone. Still are. They're the only group that will support you if you score zero or you score 40.
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
When you have empathy toward your opponents, it helps you destroy them quicker. Because you understand exactly who they are. You understand what buttons to push. You understand if they're insecure, if they fear embarrassment. And you can really hit those buttons to strike a nerve.
Kobe Bryant
The guy said NBA players are one in a million, ... I said, 'Man, look, I'm going to be that one in a million.
Kobe Bryant
You have to be true to who you are.
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
Isn't the basis of a democracy to send somebody to Washington to bring something back for you? ... It isn't?
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
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
The important thing is that your teammates have to know you're pulling for them and you really want them to be successful.
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
