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

You have to be true to who you are.

As far as carrying the torch for the years to come, I don't know. I just want to be the best basketball player I can be.

I'm reflective only in the sense that I learn to move forward. I reflect with a purpose.

What does perfection look like to me? Championship rings

It doesn't bother me at all. Do I hold any hard feelings? Not at all, ... Life is too short to sit around and hold grudges. I don't hold any whatsoever.

There's been a lot of talk of me being a one-man show but that's simply not the case. We win games when I score 40 points and we've won when I score 10.
