访谈录 2009-06-21&06-24 科比NBA夺冠访谈

Hey, Kobe Bryant. You and the Lakers just won the NBA title, your fourth ring. What are you gonna do now?

 

I’m going to Disneyland. They have close to a hundred thousand fans showed up at the coliseum to celebrate the Lakers’ title, No. 24 cheer with Mickey Mouse, and Neil Everett.

 

"You never know who you will run into at Disney Land--Kobe Bryant.  How cool is it to be you right now?"

 

"There is awesome¹. This is awesome. I mean I’m in the happiest place on earth. You know you have just won the championship, a bunch of Lakers’ fans here. This is great. Mickey, right?"

 

"And Goofy."

 

"Grumpy. (Sometimes.) But it’s over now. (All right) You know, I’m happy now."

 

"The parade, Wednesday, why was that so off-the-hook compared to Lakers parades of past?"

 

"Well you know I think there is just so much energy, because we had a down time for 7 years. So now you just felt like the city was really rocked, and man! They just did a fantastic job, don’t they? I was going to the coliseum, the 95000, they are waving for us as we walked in, I mean that’s just special."

 

"Is it fair to say that you played with a chip on your shoulder, these playoffs?"

 

"Oh, yeah, you know, I played with actual motivation, you know, 'Cause we had all motivation in the world to win at last season. Then it comes up short. You know, so you have all summer to think about that. That just kinda sits with you.  And so we played with a chip on our shoulder from the beginning of the season, always did."

 

"If I had never seen you play, Kobe, how would you describe your game?"

 

"Um, intense, a lot of passion, you know, but I work hard. I mean I work hard, every possession. You know, I take time off. I take possessions off. I’ll push myself always to the limit."

 

"Now, the mean face appears to be some, a little something you’ve added to your repertoire².  Where did that come from?"

 

"Oh, man! I don’t know, you know it’s, um, it was just one of those things. I think it started in Denver. I made tough shoot. You know emotions just kinda flowed out. And then, you know, it just happened. And then what was frightening to me (was) everybody started making a big deal out of this face thing, it was like, I don’t know. It’s weird³."

 

"Was its, now after you did it and people brought it to your attention, did you go home and do it in the mirror and look at ..."

 

"Yeah, I’ll stare at the mirror practicing, Errr. No, no, no, wait, wait, wait, errr. No! You know. It’s just one of those things you know you just play, it just happens, so it is what it is."

 

"How about if you can take one game and put it into the Kobe Bryant time capsule, what game would it be?

 

"It gotta be game five, I mean, that’s just one of those things like it’s even now sometimes I sit at home I might ask: 'Does this really just happen? Do we actually win this thing.' Do you know, so it has to be game five, just the moment when we go back to the bench as a team, we all realize that we’re about to be champions. It’s just that moment ‘cause it’s so special."

 

"First thing that comes to mind when I say Paul Gasol."

 

"Versatility⁴."

 

"Lamar Odom."

 

"Versatility."

 

"Derek Fisher."

 

"Clutch⁵."

 

“Trevor Ariza."

 

"Defense⁶ and stopper."

 

"Phil Jackson."

 

"Greatness."

 

"How has he affected⁷ your life on and off the basketball?"

 

Phil? (Yeah!) Well, you know, I think Phil is philosophical⁸ element to our team. You know, everybody knows how Phil, how Phil is. He is about kinda be in the moment and not necessarily coaching X’s and O’s of the game but coaching the emotion of the game. How that affects the team. And so he has influenced me a great deal because that's the same way I look at the game and he basically raises us, so."

 

"What do you do this off-season?"

 

"Nothing, nothing, not for a while. You know, it’s just for the standpoint of I’ve been going hard for two and half, three years, so put my body to recover, heal up and then go that hard again."

 

"How about when you retire from basketball? What do you do?"

 

"What do I do? I can be an anchor at Sports Center."

 

"My puppet, my puppet already got the head start. Me and LeBron both sitting up there, we get our head start of our careers after basketball."

 

"When you do finally call it a quit, how many rings do you have?"

 

"I don’t know, I don’t know. Hopefully some more, you know it’s tough to say that though, because you are so fortunate. I’m so fortunate to have four. I mean, truly, a lot of players never get there in their career, man, and Derek and I are both sitting on four and I've been to the final six times. It’s very lucky, man"

 

"Four and counting, Kobe Bryant."
