“I’m not fading into the shadows, if that’s what you’re asking. I’m not going anywhere. We’re not going anywhere. It’s not like when the Bulls beat the Pistons and they disappeared forever. I’m not going for that shit. Come hell or high water, we’re going to be there again.” —Kobe Bryant
“It’s different from being 21 and you think there’s endless amount of opportunities. At 33, the ending is much, much closer.” —Kobe Bryant
