Kobe Bryant Winning Quotations

I focus on one thing and one thing only - that's trying to win as many championships as I can.

It never bothered me when people would say, 'You only win championships because you're playing with Shaq.' It bothered me when he said it.

People just don't understand how obsessed I am with winning.

There's been a lot of talk of me being a one-man show but that's simply not the case. We win games when I score 40 points and we've won when I score 10.

Winning takes precedence over all. There's no gray area. No almosts.

I don't think a coach becomes the right coach until he wins a championship.

I'm extremely willful to win, and I respond to challenges. Scoring titles and stuff like that... it sounds, well, I don't care how it sounds - to me, scoring comes easy. It's not a challenge to me to win the scoring title, because I know I can.

We're not worried about getting him more touches. We're worried about winning the game and getting everybody better looks.

Not when we're winning ballgames. We have to keep that in perspective. The most important thing is winning. That's why I go out there and I do what I do. I sense the moment. I see if we need me to take over the game and that's when I do it.

If they want to win right now, I'm all for it. That's all I said the whole time. If you want to wait five years, let me know. My legs aren't as young as they used to be.

The motivation for me is just the game itself, just playing the game the right way and trying to win, compete every time I step out there on the floor. That's motivation enough for me to go out there and play well.

I don't just try to score. The challenge is elevating my teammates to be able to win a championship.

I was probably born a scorer, but I was made a winner. Whatever works, whatever wins championships, wins games, that's what I do.

I feel like I just returned a 100-yard kickoff in the last two minutes of the Super Bowl to win it all, only to have my run called back by a flag on the play.
