Kobe Bryant

The important thing is that your teammates have to know you're pulling for them and you really want them to be successful.

Sports are such a great teacher. I think of everything they've taught me: camaraderie, humility, how to resolve differences.

Magic has five championships. I have five championships. I'm pretty sure we both know what we're doing.

It never bothered me when people would say, 'You only win championships because you're playing with Shaq.' It bothered me when he said it.

If there were camera phones back in the day, the biggest athletes in the world would have had a lot of explaining to do.

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

Winning takes precedence over all. There's no gray area. No almosts.

People just don't understand how obsessed I am with winning.

It's hard for me to grasp the concept of somebody being nervous when I'm talking to them.

One thing you gotta know about me is I have absolutely no filter. I have no problem saying what the hell I think of someone.

The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.

Everyone looks at your watch and it represents who you are, your values and your personal style.
