"every year is more challenging. sixth man, role player, starter, sidekick, scorer, playmaker, quarding small forwards one year and point guards the next, stepping into a leadership role and then stepping back - i've had to reinvent myself from year to year, month to month, sometimes game to game."

-kobe, ESPN the magazine

there is no player who improves every year like kobe. you can hate his attitude, his smile, his threatening to overthrow jordan, but you can't deny that this is the hardest working, most improving player in the league, and perhaps in the history of the game.

"We're down, 0-2. We have two of our key members out. Here's an opportunity for us to make history."

-Kobe Bryant, 05/08/03

and just like that, they won 2 to catch up. lost last night in a thriller, a game that everyone gave up on except kobe, who hauled them all the way back. shaq played like a pansy.

while he was talking, i couldn't help but notice his use of the words, "testicle." is that a word? shouldn't it be just testes? .... huh huh huh huh.... sounds like popsicle...icicle (sp?)... huh huh huh huh....

"...and pediatricians tend not to think of infertility, given the age group..."

"we've found that testicular torsion, when corrected, seems to cause abnormalities on the contralateral testicle..."

OLIVES. OLIVES. OLIVES. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. they serve olives at a testes talk lunch?! am i the only one that notices these things?!

"and my teaching point to you guys, as medical students, is to stand the patient up during the genital exam...."
