These are my new shoes. They`re good shoes. They won`t make you rich like me, they won`t make you rebound like me, they definitely won`t make you handsome like me. They`ll only make you have shoes like me. That`s it.

If you`re trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I`ve had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don`t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don`t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
Michael Jordan
As athletes, we`re used to reacting quickly. Here, it`s `come, stop, come, stop.` There`s a lot of downtime. That`s the toughest part of the day.

I never looked at the consequences of missing a big shot... when you think about the consequences you always think of a negative result.

I`ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I`ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I`ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I`ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

Tim Hardaway
You`ve got to learn the footwork, the positioning, how to box out, how to pass, how to shoot your free throws. All these things are necessary, not to be the No. 1 player in the world, but maybe you can play against him.
Oscar Robertson
You`ve got players that can really put the ball in the basket and they went on a run on us. You think the game is pretty much over with, but in the NBA teams can go on runs. I don`t know how it happened.
Ray Allen
You`re always at war with the guy on the other bench. You pick up their patterns. That`s what I got the most out of this year. I know what other coaches like to do.
Isiah Thomas
You would think on the outside looking in that it might be. But again, it`s a crap shoot. You just never know. It might be something that ends up being magical and works right from the beginning. It might be what everybody`s expecting and a process in whi...
Brent Barry
