Very noteworthy quotes from Kobe Bryant from Monday about the state of the Lakers … I wasn’t there, but the gist of them is clear: It’s easy to see him legitimately being a Laker for life again.
On Mitch Kupchak: “I’d give him an A-plus. He goes from an F to an A-plus.”
On being a Laker: “I’ve always wanted to be here. I just felt like I was in a position where I didn’t really have a choice if they wanted to go in an opposite direction. My legs aren’t as young as they used to be, so just let me know. But I love the weather. I love my ‘63 drop-top Impala. I love the 405 and I love my guys.”
On his offseason complaints possibly inspiring more action and thus success: “Maybe. It takes pressure sometimes to make a diamond.”
