Kobe Bryant on Sunday, to LA media:

“I was a Laker die hard growing up. So [being compared to Magic] is good enough for me. That’s good enough for me. I’ve just been extremely fortunate. So how many kids can say that when they grow up and turn pro they’re gonna play for the favorite team in the world and spend their entire career there? It’s been a dream.”

Man, he plays the play-to-the-audience Mad Lib game better than Joe Biden.
