Chargers get motivational speech from Kobe

NBA legend Kobe Bryant stopped by the Los Angeles Chargers' practice Friday to pass along some words of wisdom.

One thing Bryant stressed during his speech was the importance of staying focused.

"When you have a lot of success at the start, it becomes easy to become distracted," Bryant told Ricky Henne of Chargers.com. "You start thinking of things you've been doing instead of focusing on the moment and where you are right now. So the most important thing was to keep their focus.

"They're rolling, right now. I mean, man, they're rolling. But like I said, you play great one Sunday, and everyone thinks you're a world-beater and the best thing since sliced bread. And then you lose the next week and all of a sudden you're (freaking) horrible. So you've got to keep perspective."

The Chargers are riding a six-game winning streak heading into Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos.
