Leadership is getting players to believe in you. If you tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as you're able to, you'd better go out there and do it. Players will see right through a phony. And they can tell when you're not giving it all you've got.

Larry Bird
I'm a firm believer in that you play the way you practice.
Larry Bird
Leadership is diving for a loose ball, getting the crowd involved, getting other players involved. It's being able to take it as well as dish it out. That's the only way you're going to get respect from the players.
Larry Bird
The best basketball announcer is one who allows you to close your eyes.
Larry Bird
Push yourself again and again. Don't give an inch until the final buzzer sounds.
Larry Bird
When I was a player, I didn't expect my teammates to play the way I did. I did expect them to work hard every day and get better. And I never learned anything by losing.
Larry Bird
Michael Jordan is God disguised as a basketball player.
Larry Bird
The one thing that always bothered me when I played in the NBA was I really got irritated when they put a white guy on me.
Larry Bird
