fired float hard hold kids life overcome
I want my kids to have passion for life, to really have a passion for life. I think when you have a passion for something, you can overcome obstacles, if you float through life without having anything to hold on to or get you fired up emotionally and to focus on, I think it's really hard to overcome things.

There are so many different ways to lead. The most important thing is to be genuine. To have people around you trust you, trust in what you stand for and who you are.

feeling fewer good high percentage point score shoot
I've always wanted to shoot a good percentage for my team, because I'm the point guard, and I can take fewer shots, still score more, so that I can get my teammates feeling good about themselves. That was always my feeling - that if I shoot a high percentage, I don't have to shoot a ton.

Any way you slice it, we very easily gave up a 17-point lead. It was disappointing. We went cold. We probably didn't get enough penetration or ball movement.

Anytime people step up at the end of games to close teams out, that's the sign of a good team. We had a couple of guys who made some big plays and made us a winner tonight.

They're going to single one out because it's on Kobe? To me that's a shame.
absorb benefit bring coach culture definitely doubt enjoy great help pass personal players spent time
They will definitely enjoy it, no doubt about it, especially those who have never been. It will be great from a personal standpoint, but it will also benefit the group. Coach will also be able to help us, too, and pass on his experiences from the time he spent in Italy. So all in all, it will be great, the players will be able to absorb the culture and it will bring them together.
