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

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.

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.

I love you Philadelphia. I want to thank you for accepting me, and letting me be me and make this my home forever.
Allen Iverson
Image
I play every game like it's my last game. All that matters is that you go out there and play every game as if it was your last.

When I was a little kid I used to go on the playground and say: today I will shoot like Bird, pass like Magic, jump like Mike, be quick like Zeke. I am thankful to them, since without seeing them do things they did, I wouldn't be in the NBA.

If you're struggling with your shooting, then do other things on the basketball court. Get steals, get assists, get rebounds-do anything on the court to help the team win.
Allen Iverson
Image
I gave everything I had to basketball. The passion is still there but the desire to play is not. It was a great ride.
Allen Iverson
Image
If I don't believe it, then they don't need me on the court. I've just got to believe that in my heart.
Allen Iverson
Image
I owe all of this to the guys I've played with and all the coaches that have helped me get to where I'm at right now. I'm honored to be here.
Allen Iverson
Image
I don't want to just go to the playoffs, I don't want to go to the playoffs and win the first round, second round, and not win the whole thing because it's bittersweet.
Allen Iverson
Image
If that many people recognize how hard I go every night and what I put into my game, to make myself and my team better, it means a lot to mean. I'm fortunate I'm blessed to be in the situation that I'm in right now.
Allen Iverson
Image
This is the thing you dream about when you're a kid, even before getting into the league.
Allen Iverson
Image
I believe that whatever we have, regardless of a trade being done or not, I feel we have a shot. I've just got to believe that we're going to be all right. I've got to just play basketball.
Allen Iverson
Image
Basketball is a game of sacrificing yourself for the next guy, being a team that takes good shots, and taking the right shots
David Blatt
Image
We old athletes carry the disfigurements and markings of contests remembered only by us and no one else. Nothing is more lost than a forgotten game.
Pat Conroy
Image
A team will always appreciate a great individual if he's willing to sacrifice for the group.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

We have to be mentally prepared for every team we play. If we play a team who has a big name on their chests, then we are going to come out ready. But if we play a team who doesn't have a big name or a star player, we have a hard time coming out ready.
Rajon Rondo

It wasn't until late high school and early college that I gained enough size and skill to make me welcome on intramural basketball teams.
Paul D. Boyer
Image
The first three championships that I won, I won them. I had big numbers and I won them. And last year, the guys won it for me. They won it for the big guy. Numbers are overrated. There's a lot of guys in this league who can say they've got great numbers. But they can't say they've got four rings in the last six years.
