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

The party's just getting started. This is where the fun starts.

When you love something, you'll always come back to it. You'll always keep asking questions, and finding answers.

I don't think a coach becomes the right coach until he wins a championship.

The people who truly know me know what I'm like. There have been people who try to say things that aren't fair, and I check them. And then they don't like me because I checked them.

Dropkick Murphys get me going, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana... plus, all the regular hip-hop stuff.

People look at my competitive spirit, and they automatically attach it to the thing that's most similar, most easily recognizable, which is Michael [Jordan's] competitive spirit. I'm different. I enjoy building. I enjoy the process of putting the puzzle together, and then the byproduct of that, the consequence of that, is beating somebody. That becomes the cherry on top, the icing on the cake.
