Basketball Quotes

Being named as a finalist for the USA Basketball National Team is an unbelievable feeling and an opportunity that is truly humbling. It is an honor to be included with such talented players and I look forward to the chance to represent my country this summer Picture Quote #1

When people ask me what I miss most about the game, it’s being in the locker room and getting to know the guys. Back in those days, we had roommates. We had to talk basketball and that was a great way to understand the game itself and form those lasting relationships Picture Quote #1

I usually just speak in English when I’m on the basketball court. For some reason, my mind never even tried to cross any other language when I’m playing basketball Picture Quote #1

When I travel around the globe, I try as hard as I can to represent the NBA and the game of basketball to the best of my abilities. I get to go around the world and not only share the game but also my philanthropic work. Building a hospital in the Congo is one of the proudest achievements of my life Picture Quote #1

The accomplishments in college and even in the pros are more in my mind because you constantly see Duke on TV during basketball season. You constantly see the NBA Picture Quote #1

I’m a Christian first. I’m a family guy second. As much as I like coaching, as much as I like basketball, it’s third, fourth, or fifth down the line Picture Quote #1

Joy comes from places you least expect it. Its usually the simple things, like watching my son play basketball or going through Central Park when the blossoms are blooming Picture Quote #1

I started taekwondo at 5 or 6 years old and did a bunch of kick-boxing later, too. Eventually I became a black belt and coached as well. I did some basketball and softball growing up, but most of my activity was martial arts Picture Quote #1

True basketball coaches are great teachers and you do not humiliate, you do not physically go after, you do not push or shove, you do not berate, if you are a true coach. If you humiliate or curse them, that won’t do it. Coaches like that are not coaches Picture Quote #1

I wanted to emulate my parents - Mum captained India in basketball, and Dad won a bronze in hockey in 1972 Olympics. My focus has always been to achieve excellence whether in the field of tennis, in the corporate field, in the art of acting or in motivating youngsters Picture Quote #1

A friend told me about a Nike competition, where they give you one minute to do tricks with a basketball. I wasn’t going to go, but they were giving away free sneakers. I ended up coming in second place Picture Quote #1

I criticize the NFL in many ways, but I think it’s made great strides. I think college basketball, great strides. College football means so much to alumni, doesn’t it? It sort of represents the school. It’s when you go back; it’s at the beginning of the school year Picture Quote #1

I don’t think you can explain why all these other sports and college basketball have a fair representation of African American coaches, but college football doesn’t. You can dig and scramble and scratch, but at the end of the day I think it’s just pure, old-fashioned racism Picture Quote #1

With basketball, if a guy is having an off night you still can say he’s a good athlete. But with a comedian, you see them in front of the wrong audience - and they can look like complete amateurs. It’s remarkable Picture Quote #1

Yeah. When I was in high school I used to do stupid video edits. I would hook-up two VCRs or three VCRs and do film edits for the basketball team and stuff like that because I was always just into doing that Picture Quote #1

I play a lot of basketball and racquetball, as they’re both great for your feet and hand eye coordination. Other drills can help as well, such as simply catching a football in distant positions from different heights and velocities Picture Quote #1

Adam [Sandler] is a good basketball player, so he is a natural athlete, he worked with Sean Salisbury to make his footwork and delivery smooth, and he did a great job Picture Quote #1

Seven years ago, my father and I realized that our relationship was extremely unique, especially in the African-American community. He raised me to not only understand the fundamentals of basketball and to try to be a player with a high basketball IQ, but he wanted me to understand that my image and my name meant more than stats Picture Quote #1

Just imagine what would have happened if Michael Jordan quit after getting cut from his High School Basketball team? Picture Quote #1

My dad was the one who really loved basketball, and he was the one that put the basketball in my hands, and my mom was ‘Team Mom’ of all my teams. I used to play for three or four teams at once and she would just spend her entire afternoon driving me from practice to practice to practice Picture Quote #1

I just aim for basketball season to start. I don’t really care about anything else in life Picture Quote #1

When we were growing up we only got two pairs of shoes every year. With me, I was lucky because I got three pairs of shoes, the third were basketball shoes: Black Air Force Ones, White Air Force Ones, and boots for the winter Picture Quote #1

I couldn’t imagine not playing basketball. To me, basketball is what life is all about Picture Quote #1

Tiger had the advantage of high school, college, and a father who knew golf. I was self-taught. Blacks really won’t play golf in great numbers until some of these basketball and football stars buy some golf courses where blacks can play Picture Quote #1

Tennis was always there for me, which was lucky. I would go play baseball, basketball, football, hang with my brother, do whatever, and at the end of the day I’d come back and say, ‘Hey, Mom, would you hit 15 minutes worth of balls with me?’ Picture Quote #1

I was about 14, and my friend’s stepdad asked me to do a 10K with him because his son - who was more into basketball - didn’t want to. It was amazing, and I still remember the time I got: 48:23 Picture Quote #1

When I was really young, the women’s national team wasn’t on a grand media stage, so my role models were male basketball and male American football players Picture Quote #1

You have to remember that baseball really was the American pastime in the Forties, not football, basketball or any other sport Picture Quote #1
