20 Kobe Bryant Quotes

"Everything negative – pressure, challenges – is all an opportunity for me to rise."

"The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do."

"I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure. I have nights when I show up at the arena and I'm like, 'My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees hurt. I don't have it. I just want to chill.' We all have self-doubt. You don't deny it, but you also don't capitulate to it. You embrace it."

"The moment you give up is the moment you let someone else win."

"Winning takes precedence over all. There's no gray area. No almosts."

"I can't relate to lazy people. We don't speak the same language. I don't understand you. I don't want to understand you."

"Great things come from hard work and perseverance. No excuses."

"I focus on one thing and one thing only: that's trying to win as many championships as I can."

"I'm reflective only in the sense that I learn to move forward. I reflect with a purpose."

"Pain doesn't tell you when you ought to stop. Pain is the little voice in your head that tries to hold you back because it knows if you continue, you will change."

"Be willing to sacrifice, to work hard, and to give up your whole being for something that's worth it."

"The moment you give someone else the responsibility of your happiness, you are screwed."

"I'm not the most patient of people."

"The beauty in being blessed with talent is rising above doubters to create a beautiful moment."

"I'll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it's sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot."

"Use your success, wealth, and influence to put them in the best position to realize their own dreams and find their true purpose."

"If you want to be great at something, there's a choice you have to make. What I mean by that is, there are inherent sacrifices that come along with that. Family time, hanging out with friends, being a great friend, being a great son, nephew, whatever the case may be."

"I can't relate to lazy people. We don't speak the same language. I don't understand you. I don't want to understand you."

"The moment you give up is the moment you let someone else win."

"I'll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it's sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot."
