Do not think a man has done his full duty when he has performed the work assigned him. A man will never rise if he does only this. Promotion comes from exceptional work.
Andrew Carnegie
Image
I just want to try to ignore the scrutiny and all the distractions and just play hard basketball and let the best come... Improving game by game and trying to improve my game is what I want to do.
Andrew Bogut
Image
We play a different style than other teams. It's effective, but different. We run the floor, block shots and create turnovers.
Steve Nash
Image
Team spirit means you are willing to sacrifice personal considerations for the welfare of all. That defines a team player.
John Wooden
Image
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.
Wally Walker

To me, the big thing in being a successful team is repetition of what you're doing, either by word of mouth, blackboard, or specifically by work on the field. You repeat, repeat, repeat as a unit.
Vince Lombardi

We love playing together and we love adversity. You know, back-to-back, the two best teams in the East.
Steve Nash
Image
I laugh and joke, but I don't get distracted very easily.
LeBron James

If you do not believe yourself no one else will.

If a director brings a guy to their movie who does improv, they've got to let him do what he does - otherwise it's like bringing Michael Jordan to your basketball team and telling him to just pass the ball and don't shoot.

Everyone wants to do what the great ones do but very few are willing to do what they did to become great

The Dodgers. My favorite hockey team is the Kings. I like the Clippers in basketball. And I like USC college. Football, the Giants.
Alyssa Milano

It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently.
Warren Buffett
Image
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.
Gary Gulman

On the seemingly one-sided relationship between Michael Jordan and his shoe sponsors Nike- The company should change its name to Mike.
Alvin Robertson

I love practice. It is when a coach exercises the most control over the improvement of his or her team.
Mike Krzyzewski
Image
If I would have listened to other people back in 2000 telling me I should have stopped playing basketball because of a kidney disease, I wouldn't have won a world championship.
Alonzo Mourning
Image
Basketball players want contact to get a foul called. Slaps on the wrist and bumps on the shoulder are big time to them, and they don't like that. In football, you get that all the time. The whole mental makeup is different.
Warren Moon
Image
I always try to keep a pretty conservative demeanor on the court.
Julius Erving
Image
I love being a pavement artist seriously, I do. It's like when guys who would normally hate being freakishly tall discover basketball, or when girls with abnormally long fingers sit down at a piano. Blending in, going unseen, being a shadow in the sun is what I'm good at. Seeing the shadows, it turns out, is not my natural gift.
Ally Carter

I am the MVP and I gotta worry about the trade talk.
Allen Iverson
Image
I don't want to be another Jordan, Magic, or Isiah. When my career is over, I want to be able to look in the mirror and say 'I did it my way'.
Allen Iverson
Image
I made a lot of mistakes, a lot of things I'm not proud of. But it's only for other people to learn from.
Allen Iverson
Image
I'm going to always be a Sixer til I die.
