Shout praise and whisper criticism.
Be what ya is, 'cause if ya be what you ain't, ya ain't what ya is.
I can score 20 points if I want to, but that's not my desire.
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.
Athletes that can't listen, can condition.
On his homesickness during the Barcelona Olympics -I miss America. I miss crime and murder. I miss Philadelphia. There hasn't been a brutal stabbing or anything here the last 24 hours. I've missed it.
You've got to have fun on the court. If you ain't having fun, then basketball ain't fun.
My acting is a bit like basketball. Most females in my films come off very well. I give great assist. And if I'm lucky, I even score.
Our guys took Shop and Advanced Shop. Shop is when you make a chair. Advanced Shop is when you paint it.
In sixth grade, my basketball team made it to the league championships. In double overtime, with three seconds left, I rebounded the ball and passed it - to the wrong team! They scored at the buzzer and we lost the game. To this day, I still have nightmares!
I love various sports, including basketball, tennis and billiards.

I have to say I've worked very few days of my life. I used to have to cut the lawn, and when I was in junior high school, I worked at a concession stand at a stadium.
I have definitely gone through my ups and downs and faced my adversity and my nay-sayers, but managed to do all right. It is a pretty classic tale.
I know the strengths and weaknesses of my teammates. I make my passing decisions accordingly
Some things you just can't question. Like you can't question why two plus two is four. So don't question it, don't try to look it up. I don't know who made it, all I know is it was put in my head that two plus two is four. So certain things happen. Why does it rain? Why am I so sexy? I don't know.
My secret? See it, and stay focused on it.
It [would have] been very difficult. As I said, the rules ... but if the rules were put in place back when Michael Jordan was in his prime - no hand-checking, the game was more geared toward offense, wanting to promote scoring in the game - he could have probably got close. He did score 69.
I visualize the game. I think about who I am guarding, the things he likes to do.
The mismatch is not what gets you beat. What gets you beat is giving up the uncontested, open shot.
