Kobe BryantThe motivation for me is just the game itself, just playing the game the right way and trying to win, compete every time I step out there on the floor. That's motivation enough for me to go out there and play well.
Kobe BryantThat argument doesnโt make any sense to me. So we want to advance as a society and as a culture, but, say, if something happens to an African-American, we immediately come to his defense? Yet you want to talk about how far weโve progressed as a society? Well, if weโve progressed as a society, then you donโt jump to somebodyโs defense just because theyโre African-American. You sit and you listen to the facts just like you would in any other situation, right? So I wonโt assert myself.
