I'm hunting for little Mexican girls.
You don't try to do more than you should.
I just want to make a name for myself and get to the next level.
You have injuries that bother you when you're not playing. When that horn blows, you don't feel it.
You take the good with the bad and try not to listen to everything said about you because you know it's not good.
To catch the ball, face up, look at all of my options and then pass. I was playing hot potato. I didn't want to be the guy to stall the triangle.
Isn't it about time that we stopped wasting so much time on what a person prefers?
I have many friends and family members who have served (or are currently serving) in our nation's Armed Forces. I have such a profound respect for what they do day in and day out.
I have to be working, doing things. That's the way I grew up and the way I was taught
When I said I retired from basketball playing, I have retired. You will not see me play again. That is a promise.
For me to be here tonight, everything had to be perfect. I had to get drafted by Utah, had to play with a point guard like John Stockton, and had to be coached by Jerry Sloan and Frank Layden.
Misery loves company. This is a Hollywood soap opera, and I'm not going to be a star in another Bryant soap opera.
I think we're a deeper team, a better team, we still have work to do... nothing is guaranteed, but hopefully we got the mentality to play on the road, and we're starting to get our home thing back in order now-if we can do that we'll be just fine.
Even though I left for a year, I grew here as a Jazz man. If I'm fortunate enough to go into the Hall of Fame, I will go as a Jazz man.
