Q: Kobe, Phil was in here a few moments ago and said there was a slim chance
he would be back next here coaching. Was this probably your last game as a
Laker?
Bryant: I don't know. You know, we have to wait till the summer to find that
out.
Right now, I really can't answer that question because I don't know.
Q: Phil suggested that you ran out of gas as this went on, did you feel that
way?
Bryant: As a team?
Q: You.
Bryant: No, I never ran out of gas, I felt like my energy was good. I played
hard all the way down to the Final buzzer, but my energy felt fine.
Q: The Lakers were such overwhelming favorites coming in, what happened and
could you ever have imagined not being more competitive in a five-game series?
Bryant: Well, you know, we had to play crucial parts of the game with some of
our young kids because of a couple injuries that we've had.
But, nonetheless, I felt like they got in there and gave us a great effort. I
think Slava gave us good effort, Brian Cook gave us good effort, Luke Walton
gave us good effort, Kareem Rush gave us good effort. They just played better
than we did.
Q: Could you have imagined something like this happening in your worst night-
mare?
Bryant: You know, when I dream, I dream about winning, always. It's never about
losing.
Q: Before the game you felt that people were counting you off, you were still
optimistic, now, do you feel maybe you lost to a better team with all of your
injuries?
Bryant: You know what, they played extremely well. They coached extremely well.
They executed extremely well. They played hard. They played the right way and
they are deserving of the Championship this year.
Q: Is it fair to say the final analysis that five does beat two, and also, that
the role players on this year's team are really not up to par with the role
players on the 3-Peat teams?
Bryant: No, I don't want to be harsh on my guys at all, I really don't. They
came in there and gave us a great effort. I'm going to stands up for them. I go
to bat with them, any situation, any game, any in the world.
We didn't get the job done. They came in, they gave us good effort, they played
their hearts out, they played as hard as they could possibly play. So, you know
, I can't sit up here and say that they beat us five-on-two or anything like
that. We all go out there and we all play for one another, and we didn't get it
done. As a collective unit, we didn't get it done.
Q: Just to clarify, you still intend to opt out?
Bryant: Yes.
Q: Assuming that you were to return, Phil has said he doesn't think he would,
but would you want Phil back? I know there's been mixed feelings and the
relationship has gone up and down, would you want him back and would you still
want to play with Shaquille? What would you want out of this team if you came
back to?
Bryant: I loved playing for Phil. I learned so much from playing for Phil and
playing with Shaquille, too. I think we've got a lot of great things
accomplished despite our differences that we've had in the past. We've played
extremely well together. We've had an incredible run.
So I would not be opposed to playing with them forever. It's just not up to me.
It's not my decision.
Q: How deflating was it knowing that Karl was not going to suit up before the
game and what effect did his injuries have on what happened to the Lakers?
Bryant: It was tough. It was tough on me to watch because Karl and I over the
course of the year have become such good friends. So it's tough for me to see
him sit out, knowing how bad he wants to get out there and play.
Besides Karl's injury, I think people really underestimate the injury to Horace
Grant. He was our backup 4. He could have really helped us this series.
Unfortunately, the injury with him. But that's the way it goes sometimes.
