10 Things We Learned From the Kobe Bryant Interview

NBA superstar had revealing sit-down with Ahmad Rashad.

Thoughts on All the Titles He Has Won - In a classic Kobe-competitive moment, the hoops living legend was asked to reflect on the five titles that he has won. In classic Kobe fashion, he responded: "I should have had seven...the Detroit one got away, the Celtics [one] got away." Bryant was referring to the Los Angeles Lakers' NBA Finals losses to the Pistons and Boston in 2004 and 2008, respectively. (Photo: Noel Vasquez/Getty Images) 
The Process, Challenge of Returning Keeps Him Hungry - Unsurprisingly, Kobe shared that the process and challenge of constantly coming back and proving that he can still play keeps him hungry. This rotator cuff tear marked Bryant's third consecutive season-ending injury and we already know the Black Mamba isn't going to go out like that. Greatness personified.  (Photo: Douglas Gorenstein/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images)
