best fighting game helps kobe lying open played player trying wakes
Kobe helps me too, because if I'm ever lying back too much, him trying to get open or him fighting wakes me up. Kobe's game is like smelling salts. If you're lying back, he's going to get you up. He's the best player I've ever played with.
definitely island strong zone
Kobe, he has really strong will. When he's in the zone like that, he's definitely on an island by himself.
guess hard means tough
It could have been called a foul. But if it's not, I guess that means I just didn't go hard enough. I thought it was a tough move.
anybody cold defeated effective emotional figure lose odds people
This was not like having a cold or the flu, this was a complicated surgery. Some people lose their lives, not just their career. When you figure he's been able to play for us, and even to be effective for us, anybody has to be inspired. He's defeated some long odds to be here and now he's an emotional part of this team.
games good kobe offensive points puts seem win
Some games you have to do the right thing basketball-wise to win and we can't seem to do that. We don't play a good offensive game and we can't win. That puts Kobe in a bind. He's got to get 35 or 40 points for us to win. We should be embarrassed. I know I am.
feeling man
My man is feeling it. He's got it cooking.
dude fragile good guy knows life
He was a good dude before. He's an even better dude now. This is a guy who's been through a lot. He's one guy who knows how fragile life can be.
aggressive easy free needed shots stay throw
We needed this game, so I just wanted to stay aggressive around the boards, find the basket, get some easy shots and go to the free throw line.
lift light relax steak
We get to have a light practice, lift a little weights, have a steak and relax a little bit.
played
We played poorly. That's just what you expect.
defensive game point worst
We've got to make every game a defensive game. ... When you play the worst defensive game of the year, you get beat. Point blank.
aggressive ball finish great job love protecting throw trying underneath
That was a great move. He's real athletic, so you can just throw the ball by the rim and he'll go up and finish it. We're trying to find him. He's real aggressive underneath the basket. He's protecting our paint, and we love the job that he's doing.
although argue argument best bet consider good james small worthy
He's one of the best small forwards ever. You could argue he's the best, although I'll bet you James Worthy would probably have a good argument about that. But he's an all-around player. And I consider myself to be an all-around player.
regret thinking people
I did some things I regret, and I know there are people who think they know me. I've heard the things they say, and some of them are hurtful.
