Kobe Bryant is the most talented player in the game today; he could do anything.

I feel like in America, we don't have a kid problem. You think about all these issues that these kids are dealing with, we have an adult problem. We have adults that do not place the priority on our kids to get a valuable education.

I'm excited about what the future will bring and I think the best is yet to come.

I feel that each and every one of us as individuals has a responsibility to one another. None of us would be here without the help of someone else - whether it be guardians, teachers, parents, relatives, etc. - someone contributed to your well being as a person. We're all connected in so many different ways.

I've got to make some decisions just like any other player that has ever played this game, that eventually the clock stops, their basketball clock stops.

My health is the No. 1 concern and my longevity is the No. 1 concern.

There's a disappointment there because I still feel there's an emptiness in my career that just wasn't filled.
