Since I left basketball, and my wife, it's been a glorious feast of lovemaking.

Basketball is the worst sport. They need to raise the basket at least two feet.

I had attached my life to basketball so closely that it made me physically ill.

Basketball is like the one game I can't figure out when it comes to videogames.

I've played a lot of basketball during my life - and it's not always been good.

In a way, I feel like I can show just how good small college basketball can be.

Even when there are adverse circumstances, I try to do my job. And I usually do.

I'm never satisfied. I'm always trying to get better and learn from my mistakes.

All kids need is a little help, a little hope and somebody who believes in them.

Basketball may have been invented in Massachusetts, but it was made for Indiana.

I know there's a lot of pressure, but I'm just going to go out and play my game.

If you can do something and not blow your own horn, it sure sounds a lot better.

The game of basketball is one thing, but the image of the game is another thing.

Timmy, he's the beginning of it. He doesn't have to be the end all the time now.

If you want team play, you must stress defense. Defense makes players unselfish.

I didn't really seek attention. I just wanted to play the game well and go home.

Sometimes I do wonder what college would have been like. But I made my decision.

I've put our guys in position. I gave them the blueprint. I think they're ready.

If you have talent with teamwork, you've got a chance to be a championship team.

There are only two options regarding commitment; you’re either in or you’re out.

Playoff basketball ... you've got to treat every possession like it's your last.

Switch if you have to! It's not the mismatch that beats you, it's the open shot!

I believe that the measure of a person's life is the affect they have on others.

Realize that the hardest step in achieving anything is making a true commitment.

My American strength coach said he liked me better before I could speak English.

That's why I play basketball. To play a lot of minutes, and to help my team win.

All of us learn to write in the second grade. Most of us go on to greater things.

Everyting negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise.

If they don't let me coach, they might as well take me to the Lexington cemetery.

Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.

Make your life exciting. Do what you have to do as long as you don't hurt people.

In basketball, I always had a first step. A separation step. That works now, too.

Don't talk too much. Don't pop off. Don't talk after the game until you cool off.

There was nothing magical that the coaching staff did. This is about the players.

Bob Brannum was my body guard on the court. He was 6'-6 and built like a bulldog.

If I were in charge I'd drug test all you sons of b****es, not just the athletes.

I'm not paid to be a role model. I'm paid to wreak havoc on the basketball court.

You can talk without saying a thing. I don't ever want to be that type of person.

Adrian Dantley is a guy that I looked at . . . on how to maneuver my body around.

You don't stop running because you get old, you get old because you stop running.

When I dunk, I put something on it. I want the ball to hit the floor before I do.

Basketball is a pretty simple game. What wins is consistency and competitiveness.

Consistency is what counts; you have to be able to do things over and over again.

The invention of basketball was not an accident. It was developed to meet a need.

There are 86,400 seconds in a day. It's up to you to decide what to do with them.

Look for players with character and ability. But remember, character comes first.

It doesn't matter who scores the points, it's who can get the ball to the scorer.

You must have your player's heads and hearts before they will do anything for you

Sometimes the coaches tell me to be selfish, but my game won't let me be selfish.

We want to win it all. The only reason we play this game is to win championships.
