Listen To How Everyone Is Talking About

I Wanna Be The Best, Simple And Plain

I Felt Like When We Came Back From The All-star Break We Needed Everybody To Feel Like They Were Part Of The Team, ... I'm Just Trying To Do Whatever The Team Needs At Any Given Time.

I Have My Own Identity ... The Whole Michael Thing Does Drive Me Nuts Sometimes Because People Won't Leave It Alone. He's Bald, I Have Hair. He's Almost 40, I'm 22. Seriously Though, I Wish People Would Let It Be And Let Me Just Be Kobe.

It Never Bothered Me When People Would Say, 'you Only Win Championships Because You're Playing With Shaq.' It Bothered Me When He Said It.

I Don't Want To Be The Next Michael Jordan, I Only Want To Be Kobe Bryant.
