“It was a weird game. There was ugly shooting and a lot of turnovers and mistakes, and we were just fortunate to get the win.”

Kobe always tried to be a hero. But you know, as the saying goes, a hero ain’t nothing but a sandwich.

Some things you just can’t question. Like you can’t question why two plus two is four. So don’t question it, don’t try to look it up.

I’m just getting better and better. It’s just like a bunch of worker bees protecting the king bee, because I’m not a queen bee. I’m a king bee.

The best quality about Kobe Bryant? You want me to be honest? I don’t know. I’ll tell you why. I open my arms to everybody. But he never stepped forward for the embrace. So I never really got to know him. I don’t know anything about him, and it’s kinda sad.

Anyone can win a slam-dunk contest. The real Superman is dead. He was assassinated by Pat Riley. I’m the Big Cactus now and ready to roll again.

All of my projects are done right because I know the game, and I consider myself a rap expert.

The problem with kids these days is they don’t have enough fun stuff to do. When I was stationed with my family in Germany, youth basketball programs gave me something to strive to do my best at.

I’m going to be on a mission. I’ve handled my personal vendettas and handled them well.

The day I stopped worrying about stats is the day I started winning

Excellence is a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.

Being that I’m a tropical black man I don’t get to see much snow. When I see snow I go crazy. That’s why they call me Sasquatch. There’s no Sasquatch found in the snow so I had to go back to my Sasquatchian roots.

Opinions are like belly buttons; everybody has one. I never knock a man for his opinion.

A lot of times when I buy a lot of toys, I get a little jealous and keep one or two for myself. So I’ve got a couple of drones. I’ve got a couple of remote-control cars. I like to have fun

If he were on fire, he couldn’t act as if he were burning. He can’t out-act me on the big screen.

When you flop, that’s just another message that you don’t know how to play me. Stand up and take your medicine like a man.

I just want everyone to know I’m suing Ruben Studdard. He had his hand on my ass and he wouldn’t let go.

We can never replace a friend. When a man is fortunate enough to have several, he finds they are all different. No one has a double in friendship.

The highest test of the civilization of any race is in its willingness to extend a helping hand to the less fortunate.

No man is happy; he is at best fortunate.

So far I’ve been very, very fortunate because it appears that people like to hear the music I like to play. What more fortunate position can a musician be in?

Strong hearts and helpful hands are needed, and, fortunately, we have them in every part of our beloved country.

We were incredibly fortunate to get to make three Batman films. That’s enough. Let’s not get greedy. It’s a torch that should be handed from one actor to another. So I enjoy looking forward to what somebody else will come up with.

I feel very fortunate to have made my debut with Sunny Deol. I’m aware of his stardom, his popularity, and his reach. I’m sure that teaming up with him has made people sit back and notice me.

I feel like I’ve been fortunate enough that I’ve gotten to meet and work with some really passionate people.
