Basketball Quotes

Basketball is one of those rare opportunities where you can make a difference, not only for yourself, but for other people as well Picture Quote #1

Basketball can serve as a kind of metaphor for ultimate cooperation. It is a sport where success, as symbolized by the championship, requires that the dictates of community prevail over selfish impulses Picture Quote #1

I do believe that one way to bring cultures together, to develop trust between people and countries and religions, is through education. And through music and art and basketball and activities and joys that people share worldwide, regardless of ethnic background or religious orientation Picture Quote #1

I was a skinny, scrawny guy. I stuttered horrendously, couldn’t speak at all. I was a very shy, reserved player and a very shy, reserved person. I found a safe place in life in basketball Picture Quote #1

That’s what I do now: I lead and I teach. If we win basketball games from doing that, then that’s great, but I lead and teach. Those are the two things I concentrate on Picture Quote #1

When it’s played the way is supposed to be played, basketball happens in the air; flying, floating, elevated above the floor, levitating the way oppressed peoples of this earth imagine themselves in their dreams Picture Quote #1

I just love the game of basketball so much. The game! I don’t need the 18,000 people screaming and all the peripheral things. To me, the most enjoyable part is the practice and preparation Picture Quote #1

I played when I played, and played, I think, against the greatest players in the greatest time in the history of basketball Picture Quote #1

There’s so many young peoople who start to play basketball and never learn the fundamentals Picture Quote #1

That’s how we like to play basketball, is be physical down there in the paint and force teams to the perimeter Picture Quote #1

The biggest thing that I felt basketball could do for me was help me get a good education Picture Quote #1

I’d love to play basketball with the president, or throw the football around or something like that Picture Quote #1

I could run 200 yards at a stretch, I could duck between players, I felt free to make plays that suited me best. It wasn’t like football then and basketball today, where coaches tell you what foot to put down Picture Quote #1

Something I like to do a lot is just sit by water when there’s a current and just stare into the water. I don’t fish, I don’t hunt, I don’t scuba, I don’t spear, don’t boat, don’t play basketball or football – I excel at staring into space. I’m really good at that Picture Quote #1

I gave everything I had to basketball. The passion is still there but the desire to play is not. It was a great ride Picture Quote #1

Basketball is a game that gives you every chance to be great, and puts every pressure on you to prove that you haven’t got what it takes. It never takes away the chance, and it never eases up on the pressure Picture Quote #1

When you’re picking a basketball team, you’ll take the brother over the guy with the yarmulke. Why? Because you’re playing the odds Picture Quote #1

I used to play basketball and I was pretty competitive, but I was never a bad loser. I never got angry. For me it was always about doing my best and devoting myself to a challenge Picture Quote #1

Yoga’s hard for me, but I know you can really feel the difference when you do it consistently. I’d rather be playing basketball Picture Quote #1

I play basketball all the time. Me and my band play every week on the road. That’s something that I’ve never really given up since high school Picture Quote #1

When I watch kids play basketball, they don’t know how to think the game. They know what it should look like, but they don’t know why Picture Quote #1

I love playing basketball because you could be having a rough day in your life, and while you’re on the court it gives you a clear mind. I’m not worried about anything. I’m there just playing freely and I go out there all and I have fun Picture Quote #1

We didn’t come out with any energy. We know were not good enough to let the game come to us. We have to come with high energy, play hard team basketball and do everything the right way. Coming into the season, we all knew we didn’t have too much room for error Picture Quote #1

I like my sex the way I play basketball, one on one with as little dribbling as possible Picture Quote #1

Meditation practice is like piano scales, basketball drills, ballroom dance class. Practice requires discipline; it can be tedious; it is necessary. After you have practiced enough, you become more skilled at the art form itself. You do not practice to become a great scale player or drill champion. You practice to become a musician or athlete. Likewise, one does not practice meditation to become a great meditator. We meditate to wake up and live, to become skilled at the art of living Picture Quote #1

If architecture is, as is sometimes said, music set in concrete, then football and basketball may be said to be creativity embodied in team sports Picture Quote #1

Whether philosophically you believe in a public subsidization of an arena or a stadium, that’s the reality. We can’t have professional basketball in this community by the end of our lease in 2010 without subsidization Picture Quote #1

My name is on the thing, but the reality of it is, when I get up there on stage, I’m part of a band. I’m part of a unit. It’s like a basketball team Picture Quote #1

Baseball is a team game but, at the same time, it’s a very lonely game: unlike in soccer or basketball, where players roam around, in baseball everyone has their little plot of the field to tend. When the action comes to you, the spotlight is on you but no one can help you Picture Quote #1

Basketball is a great mystery. You can do everything right. You can have the perfect mix of talent and the best system of offense in the game. You can devise a foolproof defensive strategy and prepare your players for every possible eventuality. But if the players don’t have a sense of oneness as a group, your efforts won’t pay off. And the bond that unites a team can be so fragile, so elusive Picture Quote #1
