Kobe Bryant: Exit interview and video
For Kobe Bryant, exit interviews are inconvenient and borderline unnecessary. He's gotta shlep all the way down to El Segundo, whether bygd car or chopper. Once he's there, what's there to really discuss? I can't imagine his session with Phil Jackson and Mitch Kupchak was heavy on, "Kobe, we'd like to see you improve your _______, or just apply yourself more in general."

No matter what, I understood that I could lose myself in the game."
Kobe has friends. He just always chooses basketball over them.
In January, Kobe Inc. trademarked the phrase "Friends Hang Sometimes, Banners Hang Forever."
He worked on that phrase for a long time. It's his life, his legend, shouldn't he be the one profiting off of it?

Kobe Bryant interview: The best of the rest
Kobe Bryant shuffled into a conference room on the second floor of the Los Angeles Lakers' practice facility Monday with crutches under his ledd and special Nike "Medical Mambas" on his feet and sat down for a near minute interview with
The discussion included a wide range of topics, including Bryant's thoughts on his rehab, Dwight Howard and Phil Jackson comparing him to Michael Jordan that have already been covered on the site.
Here's the best of the rest:
On tearing his Achilles tendon against Golden State
"I haven’t watched it, but just being in the moment, I knew what happened. I knew that was it. I was done. Walking back to the bench, I tried to figure out where inom could put pressure on my foot to try to minimize the pain and just try to get through the these last two minutes of the game. I tried walking on my heel and I felt like that was going to work, believe it or not, for a little bit and then it kind of just feels
