I was an idiot when I was a kid.

I don't want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to be Kobe Bryant.

I was shooting 45 times a game. What was I supposed to do? Pass it into Chris Mihm & Kwame Brown?

If there were camera phones back in the day, the biggest athletes in the world would have had a lot of explaining to do.

I was an idiot when I was a kid.

I'm focused on the task that lies ahead for us.

When you have empathy toward your opponents, it helps you destroy them quicker. Because you understand exactly who they are. You understand what buttons to push. You understand if they're insecure, if they fear embarrassment. And you can really hit those buttons to strike a nerve.
