"A jumpshot can get you a big house, a supermodel, a swiss bank account, a fancy car, but none of these things can get you a jumpshot" - Allen Iverson Also, according to the Chicago Sun-Times Charles Barkley entered Rosebud Steakhouse in Chicago on Monday night and said to the bartender: "Why don’t I buy everybody a drink to congratulate them on their White Sox, because I know there’s not a lot of winning teams in town right now."
"Hardwork beats talent, when talent doesn't work hard." - Not sure who the original person was who came up with this quote, but I've head a lot of coaches use it.

"Five players on the floor functioning as one single unit: team, team, team - no one more important that the other." - Norman Dale in Hoosiers (played by Gene Hackman).

"We have a great bunch of outside shooters. Unfortunately, all of our games are played indoors." -Weldon Drew "I would get close to him and breathe on his goggles"..... -John Kerr...former NBA player on how he would have guarded Abdul-Jabbar
At the 1990 game, the Eastern Conference All-Star team was surprised when Charles Barkley raised his hand in a pregame meeting and said he'd like to sketch out a play for the opening tipoff. "This is one we used when Moses [Malone] was in Philadelphia," said Barkley. So Barkley stood, took the chalk, went to the board and drew four players running back to defend their basket. "That sumbitch NEVER won a tip," Barkley said as everyone cracked up. (From an article) Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best. - Tim Duncan
Barkley is like the king of quotes. Check this out: http://www.clintcam.com/barkley/ But the best quote ever should be: <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">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.</div> You all know who said it.
Some of my favorites are "If I weren't earning $3 million a year to dunk a basketball, most people on the street would run in the other direction if they saw me coming." -Charles Barkley "These are my new shoes.

That's it." -Charles Barkley "Basketball doesn't build character it reveals it." - Author Unknown "I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok." - Shaquille O'Neal

"I don't wanna be Bird, Isiah, Michael or Magic... when I'm done I want to know I did it my way." -Iverson "If I dress up in a suit and tie and talk all nice will that make yah'll love me? I'm still gonna be the same person" - Iverson and anything said by Bill Walton during a telecast, which usually consists of him making a gigantic assumption way too early into the game. Ex. Yao Ming scores 6 points on Shaq in the first half "Yao Ming is absolutely DESIMATING Shaquille O'Neal in the post"
