When I was in my last year in high school, I decided I wanted to try to make it in the NBA. So I went to college and figured out I could do it. Once I figured out I could play in the NBA, I also figured I could be an All-Star. I knew I could do it.
We share the ball. We play the game in a way that allows everyone to be at their best. We're fairly unpredictable in a predictable sort of way.
We're not going to win too many games last year with our defense. We certainly won with our defense tonight. It's great. It gives you a new source of pride.
A lot of teams in that situation wouldn't fight through it.
They're going to single one out because it's on Kobe? To me that's a shame.
We want the best for him. We want him to be as healthy and happy as soon as possible. But it's out of our control. With a veteran group, you realize that more than doom and gloom.
Sometimes it's difficult maintaining my friendships, but to me, it's well worth it.
