The NBA is a big family, and I think of all these rookies as my brothers. I still believe I am blue collar among the All-Stars.
Kobe's heart is as strong as his muscles.
Is there a choice in life? It's always been like this. I am jealous that you have a lot of leisure and free time. You are jealous that I have a lot money.
Hometown is like my quilts. Sometimes when you are in sweet dreams, you don't feel it's comfortable.
I am a basketball player, and I would like to focus my energy on basketball. The other things, I would rather not do. It is not something I am greatly interested in, but I know it is my responsibility.
The journalists are poking me all the time. It's impossible for me to stop even I want to.
When I was young, we were taught not to dunk. We were taught not to stand out from the rest of the team. It's different now.
I'm getting fat... because my size, I put on 20 or 30 pounds, it doesn't show very much... I'm thinking about going back to work out in a very short time.
