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'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.
I thought we just played really solid tonight. It would be nice to be 3-2 up but we're in a position now where we can ride the momentum and let it all hang out in LA.
They're going to single one out because it's on Kobe? To me that's a shame.
A lot of teams in that situation wouldn't fight through 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 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.
When you play with Kobe Bryant, the ball is gonna be with him most of the time, which is understandable.
