This decision came only after reviewing all the evidence -- testimonial evidence and physical evidence. The standards are the same in this case as in any other case,
This being our home court, people come here and think it's Hollywood and all sorts of stuff, so they think they'll come down (the lane) and look pretty and shoot jump shots and dunk the ball and finger-roll the ball and do all sorts of cute stuff. And we've got to stop that.
People that know me understand that's just me. That's not something that was fabricated. The people who don't side with you or agree with you, you use that as fuel. You use that as motivation.
Oh, hi Kobe. Yes, well, about the book ...
Oh come on, you have got to be kidding me. I had good looks but missed them. It is as simple as that. They just weren't falling. Some nights I am on fire and other nights I have nights like tonight, where the shots weren't going in.
Against them, you have to play hard on defense. You have to rotate hard, rotate quick and rotate well.
I started coming off the pick and roll and I was so wide open. It really threw me off at first. It's been two months since I've been that wide open.
I wanted to come out in the third quarter and provide some energy and the shots started falling.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it,
Sacramento has added a player in the mix that is everything that they weren't when we played them in the playoffs. The guy plays defense first, and now Sacramento has become much more aggressive on defense.
I can't take credit for what's happening out there. I learned it all by watching tapes of Elgin, Oscar Robertson and all the great players. I stole everything and incorporated it into my game.
I couldn't even dream of this when I was a kid. There was no way possible.
I am very frustrated. We shouldn't have lost this game. We are not coming out ready to play.
I am very fortunate and blessed to play this game. I try not to think about it (the streak), but I appreciate and feel blessed on what's going on.
