“I get criticized for being me. I'm enjoying life, and people see it as me not being serious. Not taking the game seriously. You shouldn't hate somebody for being themselves, for enjoying themselves.”

“Me and Kobe are always going to talk trash and get into it. But when he talks trash to everybody else, some people tend to shy away.”

“Growing up in L.A., every kid wants to play for the Lakers. As a kid I went to their championship parades, bought a Kobe jersey - I went to the gym and made everybody call me Kobe - loved Shaq, loved the three-peat.”

“Technologists provide tools that can improve people's lives. But I want to be clear that I don't think technology by itself improves people's lives, since often I'm criticized for being too pro-technology. Unless there's commensurate ethical and moral improvements to go along with it, it's for naught.”

“No one likes to be criticized.”

“Everybody gets criticized. As a player, you have the right to just get better and to put your best foot forward for your individual career, for your teammates and for your family. The criticism will always be there, it's not personal, it's just part of the game.”
