In an August 2016 interview to CNBC, he expressed how he would rather be known for venture investing than basketball.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2016\/08\/22\/kobe-bryant-says-hed-rather-be-known-for-venture-investing-than-basketball.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">shared the following<\/a> during the interview:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Playing basketball, the focus is always on winning. Winning championships, winning championships, winning championships. Now, championships come and go. There&#8217;s going to be another team that wins another championship, another player that wins another MVP award.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But if you really want to create something that last generations, you have to help inspire the next generation, and they create something great, and then that generation will inspire the one behind them, right? And that&#8217;s when you create something forever. And that&#8217;s what&#8217;s most beautiful.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>About the NiTRON Event<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The two-day NiTRON Event will be hosted at the\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, USA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">TRON is dedicated to building the infrastructure for a truly decentralized internet.
