"I was probably born a scorer, but..." - Quote by Kobe Bryant

“The hunger [to success] is the same, no matter what it is that you're doing. It's like an unquenchable thirst to learn more, or to feel like you could have done more, and to be brutally honest and self critical, which is very hard to do. It's easy, and human nature is to just blame somebody else. It's very, very hard to self assess.”

“If you make it, great. If you miss it - what's there to be afraid of?”

“You just try to take it one day at a time, ... You step on the basketball floor and just play. It's fun. I'm comfortable with it.”

“I think the greatest thing about playing obviously is winning, and you can't replace that experience with anything.”

“No leader, however great, can long continue unless he wins battles. The battle decides all.”

“No matter what happens on the field, getting an education makes you a winner.”

“Simply the thing that I am shall make me live.”

“In adolescence you have to separate yourself and establish your identity. So, being very independent anyway, I took charge.”

“You are, when all is done-just what you are.”
