If I panic, everyone else panics.

I realize now that there's a strength in dunking that I can use to my advantage. When you dunk all the time it isn't as demoralizing to the opponent, but when you dunk at a key moment in the game you can use it to change the momentum.

The Kobe 8 is about enhanced performance. It's the most comfortable shoe I have worn. It's simplistic but has an edge to it.

I've pretty much done all I can here and, you know, God will carry me the rest of the way, so I'm pretty comfortable with that.

What people see on court is another side of me; it's not me.

Teach players the game at an early age and stop treating them like cash cows for everyone to profit off of.

I'm more than comfortable just sitting back and scoring 21, 22 points or whatever and getting 10, 11 assists whatever the case might be. More than comfortable with that. It's just a matter of the pieces that you have around you and what you can do to elevate everybody else.
