Kobe Bryant
KULLEN COBLE Kobe Bryant #24, Basketball Player, Los Angeles Lakers
“Dedication makes dreams come true.”
“Once you know what failure feels like, determination chases success.”
“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.”
“A lot of people say they want to be great, but they’re not willing to make the sacrifices necessary to achieve greatness.”
“I never needed any external forces to motivate me.”
“Everything negative—pressure, challenges—is all an opportunity for me to rise.”
“Great things come from hard work and perseverance. No excuses.”
1978 – 2020
I spent a whole winter playing at Mackle Park in Marco Island. Ranked best public playground in the United States. The Kids Cove had a huge fort, pirate ship, swings, climbing wall, a water spray run around and there was a kids basketball court. Which was awesome because at two years old all I wanted to do was play basketball.
