"At the end of 2003, my game..." - Quote by Kobe Bryant

“There's a difference [between taking a charge and flopping]. We all know what flopping is when we see it. The stuff that you see is where guys aren't really getting hit at all and are just flailing around like a fish out of water. That's kind of like, where are your balls at?”

“Can I jump over two or three guys like I used to? No. Am I as fast as I used to be? No, but I still have the fundamentals and smarts. That's what enables me to still be a dominant player. As a kid growing up, I never skipped steps. I always worked on fundamentals because I know athleticism is fleeting.”

“Pooper scooper? Yeah, I've done it a few times. Every once in a while, you have to.”

“Unless we do more than simply learn the trade of our time, we are but apprentices, and not yet masters of the art of life.”

“It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.”

“It was my ambition all of my life to be master of the spoken word.”

“Innovation is an ongoing process that you build into your culture.”

“Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.”

“You can change your life if you really want to. You can improve it, make it better. And it all starts with changing the way you think.”
