Kobe BryantI have my own identity ... The whole Michael thing does drive me nuts sometimes because people won't leave it alone. He's bald, I have hair. He's almost 40, I'm 22. Seriously though, I wish people would let it be and let me just be Kobe.

You sit and you listen to the facts just like you would in any other situation, right? So I wonโt assert myself.
