consequences notion three understand vote walk
I don't go with the notion that baseball's just going to walk in three days. I understand the consequences if I vote yes, and I understand the consequences if I vote no.
best breaks brian explains gives guy interest listen mad might whether
Brian is the guy who explains it all to me. He gives it to me straight, and he breaks it down and makes it plain, whether you like it or not. ... In the beginning, I might be a little mad or something. But then I listen because I know he has my best interest (in mind).
acted arm held lifted previous pull stood
I got held on the previous play, so when he held my arm, I just lifted up. He may have acted a little more than I did, because all I did was pull my arm up. And I just stood over him a little bit.

I couldn't see nothing. I was bleeding, eyes watering.

I was going to slap the (expletive) out of him.
became easy everybody grown last market media negative shown since year
I became an easy target, especially in that media market in Washington. Everybody was writing negative stuff. But I think I've grown a lot since last year because I've shown my maturity.
teams
But we're going to be good. How many teams have two all-stars?
admit coach hands saying seriously showing supposed wrong
I'll admit it, what I did was wrong - not showing up was wrong - but I ain't saying what I would've done if I showed up would've been right. Being that I didn't show up I didn't put my hands on nobody. How a teammate, a supposed friend, would go to a coach and tell him don't put me in a game, I would've done something seriously wrong to him.
asked asking good rebound score type whatever
I think I've done whatever they've asked me to do. They've asked me to run, rebound and defend. I know that's not fan-favorite type of work. But now he's (Jackson) asking me to score a little bit, and I think ... I've done a pretty good job.
hit teammate
I think it was my own teammate I think it was Cookie. When you get hit that hard, you don't know.
everybody expects general kobe leader leading perfect score
Kobe was leading us perfect tonight. Everybody expects him to come out and score 40 because it's the playoffs, but he did what a leader and general should do.
coming energy good looking means practice prepared respect showing teammates together
I feel good and the energy and the respect my teammates are showing me means a lot. They are looking for me in the post. It started off in practice where everyone is coming together and we are showing up better prepared for the game.

Guys like Kobe and Lamar know where they should be (in the Lakers' offense). I'm still learning where I'm supposed to be.
