I also play a little bit of Tiger Woods once in awhile. Get on the golf course there, and pretend that I'm beating him.

I came in the league as not a shooter, not a scorer. My game was to play defense and make my teammates better. The most important stat to me was that left column - winning. Nothing else matters.

I'm a football guy at heart; maybe I should have played football for a living instead, because I play a lot of football videogames, I'm really into them.

Kobe enjoys that situation. Stepping up and making the big basket or being involved in a key play.

Passing is contagious. There's nothing better than making the pass that gives someone an easy hoop.

Winning is the best deodorant.

Growing up, Magic Johnson was my idol. He was a good example. He could always pass the ball extremely well and get his teammates involved.
