I don't know. Sometimes when I feel about to cry, it often evolves into an impulse to almost laugh. That must have been how I really felt at the time, because I laughed, almost giggled.
I know I'm not an ordinary year-old. I've had surgeries so that I can breathe, see, and hear without hearing aids, but it all makes me look unusual.
Maybe if we knew what other people were thinking ,we’d know that no one’s ordinary.we all deserve a standing ovation at least once in our lives.
The most important thing is you must put everybody on notice that you’re here and you are for real. I’m not a player that is just going to come and go. I’m not a player that is going to make an All-Star team one time, two times. I’m here to be an all-time great. Once I made that commitment and said, ‘I want to be one of the greatest ever’, then the game became everything for me.
I’m extremely willful to win, and I respond to challenges. Scoring titles and stuff like that… it sounds, well, I don’t care how it sounds – to me, scoring comes easy. It’s not a challenge to me to win the scoring title, because I know I can.
Magic has five championships. I have five championships. I’m pretty sure we both know what we’re doing.
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.
I’ve played with a broken hand, a sprained ankle, a torn shoulder, a fractured tooth, a severed lip, and a knee the size of a softball. I don’t miss games because of a toe injury that everybody knows wasn’t that serious in the first place.
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.
1It’s funny. I think a lot of people, a lot of writers, try to take shortcuts in their assignments and just regurgitate what somebody else may have written, you know, instead of truly saying what’s going on,. Kobe says. .I’m no different than anybody. Basketball to me, it’s a game that I want to try to be the best at, try to work at as much as possible. But I understand it’s a game. But I’m extremely outgoing. People say, ‘He’s quiet’ and all that stuff. That’s crazy. They obviously don’t know me. So, I mean, people that know me and people that seen me interact, stuff like that, I’m completely opposite of what they read. And a lot of people actually tell me that. They’ll say, ‘Man, you’re nothing like I thought you were.’
Sometimes I do wonder what college would have been like. But I made my decision..
As far as carrying the torch for the years to come, I don’t know. I just want to be the best basketball player I can be.
The important thing is that your teammates have to know you're pulling for them and you really want them to be successful.
I know I played like crap, but you don't know me in order to let oneself have less like shit, how much effort.
