More quotes by 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
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
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
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 don't talk trash often, but when I do, I go for the jugular.
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
Diligent accumulation of personal wealth is not inherently ungodly so long as it is complemented by equally diligent distribution of personal wealth.
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
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
You have to be true to who you are.
Kobe Bryant
The Black Mamba collection of watches is me: It is my alter ego, so to speak. As I mentioned before, it is sharp, cutting edge and sleek which are characteristics I try to apply when I’m out there on the basketball court.
Kobe Bryant
As far as carrying the torch for the years to come, I don't know. I just want to be the best basketball player I can be.
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
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
You want a CEO that understands they need to build a team around them that's sharper and smarter than they are.
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
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
Isn't the basis of a democracy to send somebody to Washington to bring something back for you? ... It isn't?
Kobe Bryant
Because we're old as sh*t. What do you want?
Kobe Bryant
What people see on court is another side of me it's not me.
