Kobe Bryant addressed the star-studded crowd at the Staples Center on Monday (December 18) night, as the Lakers retired two of his jerseys, and he explained why working hard is part of the dream.

The legendary athlete said, "Those times when you get up early and you work hard. Those times you stay up late and you work hard. Those times when you don't feel like working. You're too tired. You don't want to push yourself, but you do it anyway... That is actually the dream."

During his speech, Kobe also addressed his wife and three daughters, and you can hear more of what he had to say above.
