The NBAs a Fortune 500 company. Thats how you look at it. And all the other Fortune 500 companies out there in the world, you dont see their CEOs and COOs going to work with white tees and baggy clothes and stuff like that. So I have to take that same approach.
Larry, you only told me one lie. You said there will be another Larry Bird. Larry, there will never, ever be another Larry Bird.
If your bigs rim run at full speed it not only increases the potential for a quick layup, but opens up court for guards
As far as playing, I didn't care who guarded me - red, yellow, black. I just didn't want a white guy guarding me, because it's disrespect to my game.
Shot fakes and ball fakes work. No one uses more than Wisconsin. It's amazing how many people don't use them
If you're going to have to beg them to play, it's not going to work.
Afterwards I said Chris Webber was going to leave as a free agent and Sacramento would go back to expansionism.
Good basketball always starts with good defense!
Not a game, not a game. . . practice.
They won't choose Joakim Noah as the MVP, but I think it's great that he's in the conversation and he should be. But it's just not the way it works, from my experience. It's got to go in the basket for you guys to pay attention to somebody. But he's pretty damn valuable in my opinion.
How good can we expect to be if our best player is not our best teammate
This is totally unexpected. I thought I'd be in the NBA or the NFL. I never thought baseball. It's kind of like a surprise. I'm happy it happened.
I have learned that peace is not the absence of trial, trouble, or torment but the presence of calm in the midst of them
Desire outweighs footwork when it comes to crashing the glass
Defense is one man guarding the ball and four others helping him
I feel like Bill Walton - old and shitty.
Positioning, anticipation and technique create quickness. Therefore, you can always get quicker
That's a dream of mine, to be able to coach at the NBA level.
Most lay-ups and two foot jump shots around the goal are missed by not putting the ball up high enough on the backboard
I dont want to be a point guard, or a two-guard, I want people to think of me as "creative", I just want to create on the court.
