sports home games
I can still play this game at a high level; I've proven that. I want to be home. I want to be close to my family. I want to be close to my foundation and my business interests.
player games today
Kobe Bryant is the most talented player in the game today; he could do anything.
winning looks
A win is a win, regardless of how you look at it.
sports struggle people
There's nobody else on the face of this earth that's playing a sport at a highest level... with a transplant. That alone continues to inspire me, because I realize throughout the whole world the struggles that people are going through. I need to inspire them the best way I can.
basketball school college
I have an incredible amount of basketball knowledge, and I think a lot of that is derived from having a Hall of Fame college basketball coach who was very knowledgeable of the game and I had a great high school coach who was also very knowledgeable.
sports team play
You can play a particular sport as long as you take good care of your body and you're confident enough and still have that hunger to where you want to be a part of an organization, a group of individuals where you feel you can contribute to the success of that team.
want incredibles good-things
I know that all good things must come to an end and I've had an incredible ride. I just want to end it on the right note.
people tough-times lasts
Tough times don't last, but tough people do. And I've been through some tough times, and I know a lot of people can recall tough times, and maybe are going through some tough times right now, but they don't last.
stay-positive comeback mentality
I had to develop the mentality and stay positive about making my comeback.
thinking blessing lessons
I think in every lesson there's a blessing, and there's so many blessings from all the lessons I've had to go through in life.
basketball should-have people
If I would have listened to other people back in 2000 telling me I should have stopped playing basketball because of a kidney disease, I wouldn't have won a world championship.
kids thinking america
I feel like in America, we don't have a kid problem. You think about all these issues that these kids are dealing with, we have an adult problem. We have adults that do not place the priority on our kids to get a valuable education.
heart mind body
I listen to myself, I listen to my body, my mind; I follow my heart.
decision helping individual
I had individuals in my life to help me make the right decisions because it wasn't about them accepting handouts. It was about them making the right decisions for me.
