Yeah, I’m excited about it, my teammates are telling me to look at the basket, so that’s what I’m trying to do.
Good teams beat you with speed. Great teams beat you with spacing and timing.
Kobe enjoys that situation. Stepping up and making the big basket or being involved in a key play.
When I was a little kid I used to play with guys twice my age, so, I was the last one picked, so if I picked I knew that I had to get the ball to the scorer if I wanted to stay on the court, so that was pretty much my job.
Hard work does pay, and you just have to continue to work, and you got two guys, when you’re talking about Gary and myself, we have a God-given talent, but we worked at it and we’re happy to be where we are today.
I think we’re going in the right direction.
I’ve got to play free agency out, and I’ve got to look at all of my options.
Winning is the best deodorant.
Every team that I’ve gone to has had trouble winning games. I guess that’s what I’ve been put on this earth to do, to fix it.
I’m a high-risk taker on the court in the sense of trying to squeeze things in there.
I’m a football guy at heart; maybe I should have played football for a living instead, because I play a lot of football videogames, I’m really into them.
If there wasn’t any business and it was just strictly basketball, then there would be no issue, it would probably be done by now. But the team has to protect.
I think that realistically we can shoot for the title this year. If we stay healthy and be persistent throughout the season, I think we have good chance to go all the way.
I also play a little bit of Tiger Woods once in awhile. Get on the golf course there, and pretend that I’m beating him.
My job is not to scream and yell, my job is to cheer you and be positive. If you miss four shots, I’m still going to pass to you.
Passing is contagious. There’s nothing better than making the pass that gives someone an easy hoop.
I try to anticipate exactly where my teammates are going to be. Sometimes I look good. Sometimes I look bad.
I’ve learned a lot at home and been able to take what I’ve learned at home to the court.
Growing up, Magic Johnson was my idol. He was a good example. He could always pass the ball extremely well and get his teammates involved.
I’m a big fan of the game. Seeing these young guys play at the level that they are, I just wish I was 22, 23 years old so I can handle the game the way they do.
I love the competition no matter at what age.
