You want me to own a team and deal with these rich, spoiled stubborn athletes, and try to get them to perform? No thank you. — © Kobe Bryant
You want me to own a team and deal with these rich, spoiled stubborn athletes, and try to get them to perform? No thank you.
I talk to student-athletes. I try to get them to remember that they're not just athletes, but student-athletes. You need to get an education, keep your hands clean and try to represent the university.
We're often portrayed as rich, spoiled athletes who play a game for too much money.
I try to get them to remember that they're not just athletes, but student-athletes.
Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.
When you're playing a good team, not too many point guards want to go one on one. When you're playing a not-so-good team, teams that are fighting to make the playoffs, guys are going to want to try and get their own. It's just a different read of each team.
I don't want to ever think that I don't know what to do. I want to deal with my own things, to perform my own roles, to be like, "I did this."
The best way I know to get rich long-term is to invest prudently and conservatively and not try and get rich quick but try and get rich slowly, basically.
My deal, I want to be the best to ever play the game and I try to bring that same energy for my team, laying it all on the line for them.
Everybody used to say that baseball players can't dress and athletes can't dress. You know, a lot of athletes now are trying to prove everybody wrong, though there are some athletes that try too hard and try to do over-the-top things. But me, I try to be simple and just make whatever I'm wearing look good.
I try for my children to have the most normal life. Obviously, they're spoiled. I'm not saying they're not, because we're all very spoiled. But within that, I'd like them to be as down-to-earth as possible.
I want to thank my team mates in the national team and also at Dortmund. It is their work that helps me to score goals.
I haven't turned into some rich monster. I've kept my perspective. But I am a bit spoiled. It's hard not to be a little spoiled by having a lot of money.
People want to help me. They want the best for me. I always say thank you to people when they try that. I never get mad.
I try to stay calm and I try to enjoy myself as I perform these actions so I perform them with minimal stress on my body.
I'm usually a mellow, go-with-the-flow person, except when someone tells me I should do something. Then I get stubborn. If they don't back off, I get this horrible rage and want to kill them. When I was four and my mom would send me to my room, I'd get so mad I'd go outside and bang my head on the sidewalk.
Athletes try to get other athletes out and they should have no false starts.
