My role is to make sure we're moving in the right direction, getting points, rebounds, steals, assists and providing leadership.
Kobe Bryant
Winning takes precedence over all. There's no gray area. No almosts.
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

Kobe Bryant
We're grown ass men, you don't need to be falling all over the place.
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
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.

One thing you gotta know about me is I have absolutely no filter. I have no problem saying what the hell I think of someone.
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 probably born a scorer, but I was made a winner. Whatever works, whatever wins championships, wins games, that's what I do.
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
