    “I have self-doubt,” Bryant says. “I have insecurity. I have fear of failure. I have nights when I show up at the arena and I’m like, ‘My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees hurt. I don’t have it. I just want to chill.’ We all have self-doubt. You don’t deny it, but you also don’t capitulate to it. You embrace it. You rise above it. … I don’t know how I’m going to come back from this injury. I don’t know. Maybe I’ll be horses—.” He pauses, as if envisioning himself as an eighth man. “Then again, maybe I won’t, because no matter what, my belief is that I’m going to figure it out. Maybe not this year or even next year, but I’m going to stay with it until I figure it out….”

    He adopted a le for the next phase of his career, which will begin when rehab ends and he sticks that gold Lakers jersey back in his teeth, whether on opening night or Christmas Day or sometime in between. “It’s The Last Chapter,” Bryant says. “The book is going to close. I just haven’t determined how many pages are left.” He has no interest in a conversation about legacy. What excites him is evolution achieved through sports, each setback steeling a person for the next. “I’m reflective only in the sense that I learn to move forward,” Bryant says. “I reflect with a purpose.” Gather all his touchstones, look at them together, and they can gird the greatest player of his time for the biggest obstacle yet….
    “Maybe I won’t have as much explosion,” Bryant says. “Maybe I’ll be slower. Maybe I’ll lose quickness. But I have other options. It’s like Floyd Mayweather in the ring. There’s a reason he’s still at the top after all these years. He’s the most fundamentally sound boxer of all time. He can fight myriad styles at myriad tempos. He can throw fast punches or off-speed punches, and he can throw them from odd angles.”

    I just laugh heartily every time I see a dumb use the Finals losses argument. It's as if losing in the Finals is worse than getting backdoor swept in the WCF twice after winning 20 straight games.

    then that goes totally against what you say earlier. Using that logic, Robert Horry was god dam untouchable before he retired and might as well be the goat. ahead of kobe and jordan in terms of greatest ever

    capri you're like that kid that plays cops and robbers and when another kid shoots you, you say "na-ah i didin't die cause I have a shield that can protect me from bullets" or when someone tags you in tag you say "na-ah, I have this device that can turn me to a ghost, which means your hands goes right through me".

    Make a big ing deal out of spurs losses, but when it comes to laker losses, naw it ain't no big deal right? Cause i mean cmon, it's not like they formed a super team twice and got served by a buncha nobodies and then years later, form another and get swept by an old man.
