"It looks like my grandfather's rug." -- Bimbo Coles, on a sweater worn by Smush Parker "Winning is the best deodorant." -- Jason Kidd. "He was like the guinea pig for Rogaine for black men." -- Charles Barkley, on Karl Malone. "I've never taken medication (to control moods) in my life. Doctors have suggested it and I say, 'OK, give it to me.' But I throw it in the garbage immediately." -- Ron Artest. "Half Man, Half Sit-Out-The-Season." -- Barkley, talking about Vince Carter. "When I hit it I heard the crowd going crazy and I was like, 'Wow, that was a sweet jumper, they must have liked that one.' I had no clue." -- Matt Harpring, on receiving a pass from Mark Jackson and making the jumper that gave Jackson his 10,000th career assist. "They better not put me in the All-Star Game. I won't shoot, but I'll dominate that easy game. I'll be playing hard defense. I'll be foulin'. I'll be flagrant fouling. Everyone will be like, 'What are you doing?'" -- Ron Artest. "You know what Ernie? Damn! I mean the good damn. There are different kinds of damn. This is not the kind of damn that you use to describe Mike Tyson." -- Charles Barkley, on the picture of Serena Williams in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. "I feel like Bill Walton -- old and shitty." -- Shaq. "You hate white people, you hate Americans and you think you're smarter than everyone else." -- Jerry Sloan, to John Amaechi "When Boston and Orlando told me they were going to pick me at 21 and 22, I figured I don't need to do a workout for a second-round team.

"We could use a little more strength at the five position, the four position and shooting and point guard position." -- Danny Ainge. "Meet me in the parking lot, I will kick your ass." -- Scottie Pippen, to a Blazers season ticket holder. "I got theories with this woman, this Joumana Kidd who wants to be a TV star.

Feel free to post your own favorites.
hahaha...i love these: "Half Man, Half Sit-Out-The-Season." -- Barkley, talking about Vince Carter. "When I hit it I heard the crowd going crazy and I was like, 'Wow, that was a sweet jumper, they must have liked that one.' I had no clue." -- Matt Harpring, on receiving a pass from Mark Jackson and making the jumper that gave Jackson his 10,000th career assist. "They better not put me in the All-Star Game. I won't shoot, but I'll dominate that easy game. I'll be playing hard defense. I'll be foulin'. I'll be flagrant fouling. Everyone will be like, 'What are you doing?'" -- Ron Artest.
The quote of the year is " you'll keep on getting what you're getting if you keep on doing what you're doing" By John Brown one my football coaches. J/K Naw the best one has to be the Scottie Pippen one that's hilarious.
Here are some more. "I kind of knew Cleveland was going to get the No. 1 pick. I think they rigged it. No, don't quote me on that." -- Carmelo Anthony. "I was 19, but when I didn't get drafted by the Knicks, I had to go get a drink. They still put minibars in 19-year-olds' [hotel] rooms." -- Ron Artest. "I speak a little Spanish, so I'm able to communicate." -- Marcus Camby, on communicating with teammate Nene Hilario, who speaks Portuguese and not Spanish.
When commenting on Rush Limbaugh's tirade about Donvan McNabb getting attention only because he is a black quarterback, Dennis Rodman responded: "That's stupider than I what I said about Larry Bird." I paraphrased there, but I thought that was a funny quote, considering the source.
I like the one Shaq said about Walton, he deserves it, even Laimbeer is nicer on commenting, he keeps his criticisms professional and non-hurtful.
All those quotes are great. I especially like the one Barkley on VC, Barkley on Malone and Dion Glovers. Here's another one. We need to play at least 1 and a half good minutes of defense. -Jack "Goose" Givens, there was 3 secs left in the game when he said it.
Those were great. My favorites were: "Half Man, Half Sit-Out-The-Season." -- Barkley, talking about Vince Carter. "I feel like Bill Walton -- old and shitty." -- Shaq. "We could use a little more strength at the five position, the four position and shooting and point guard position." -- Danny Ainge. "We try to treat the road like it's a home game. We ain't got no fans at home, neither." -- Dion Glover, on the Hawks. The ironic thing about the Shaq quote I think is the fact that Luke Walton is his teammate. Do you think he said something about the quote to Shaq? Neither do I.
