Losing Michael Jackson is a handicap. It's the Lakers trying to win a championship without Kobe Bryant.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's no doubt my having been a ballplayer made me feel a special sense of responsibility to Joe Jackson's life.
To be able to play as slow as Al Jackson is almost impossible.
Kobe enjoys that situation. Stepping up and making the big basket or being involved in a key play.
It was really an easy decision for me to be a part of the Lakers. It's priceless. It is one of the few places where I truly get lost in the joy of the moment of that game. All of the stresses and all the responsibilities are gone.
Michael left because of the Bulls' management, not because he'd lost his love of playing the game.
The Lakers are family. My kids don't have to switch schools. Little things like that are important. People don't think about things like that. I feel like something special is going to happen in this town.
I didn't work out with Kobe. I don't know where that came from. I wish I could have.
There are two kinds of people in this world: Michael Jackson fans and losers.
Michael Jackson is the ultimate traffic accident. People can't take their eyes off him.
I think the NBA will certainly survive without Michael Jordan.
