Some famous quotes by Kobe Bryant
Even if the world abandons me, there is still basketball to accompany me.
I don’t want to be like others, even if this other person: is Jordan
Jordan "Kobe is the second best player"
Kobe "There will always be only one jumper"
We have the heart of a champion
Kobe: No one is Jordan, I just do myself.
No matter who defends me, I firmly believe that you will collapse before I collapse
Jackson: If you really can’t hold it in Come on, tell me, and I'll put you in.
He didn't get a verbal answer from Kobe. What he got was a waving and shaking head gesture. "I don't need to pursue 70 points, I just want to win," Kobe said. "When you have already thrown the victory into the refrigerator, there is no need to take risks."
It's really hard to watch TV at home without being able to play. It made me so uncomfortable," Kobe said. "I was fidgeting while watching. There was no way I could sit and watch the team play. ”
Kobe: Thank the Chinese fans for me, I am proving that I am the best player
Love me or hate me is your choice, this is life.
Some people hate my game, my arrogance, my fadeaway jumper, my obsession with the game, and my championship ring... But there are also many people who support me and love me, but the reasons are the same as those who hate me. .
Reporter: Can the Lakers win the championship without Shaq?
Kobe: I don’t know. It will be a collective effort to see if we can get helpful players and see if we can improve, but I will try my best!
Scoop Jackson (a well-known American NBA reporter and columnist) said to Kobe: In 10 years, in 10 years, the world will understand your greatness
Kobe: Even Jesus, There will be people who hold a grudge against him, I don’t need to explain anything.
“You have to get through this. It was a terrible time, but it made us closer and it made me a better person. Be stronger. Everybody goes through crossroads in their lives and everybody has to make choices. "If you look at some of the experiences that other people have had - the loss of a child, the death of a loved one, that's what I've been through. These twists and turns are nothing short of childish. I still have my own family, and my family is very healthy, and our relationship is very good. So I have more confidence to get through those years, and I believe that the sunshine will eventually appear.
