“There is beauty in that. I mean, it is going through the cycle. I mean, it is the cycle that is the natural progression of growth, of maturation. I mean, there is no sadness in that -- I see the beauty in not being able to blow past defenders anymore, you know what I mean? I see the beauty in getting up in the morning and being in pain because I know all the hard work that it took to get to this point. So, I am not, I am not sad about it. I am very appreciative of what I've had.”
-Kobe Bryant
