I've been reading a lot of quotes by NBA players this past year. But i'm sure there are thousands I havent read or heard of. Share some of your favorite quotes by NBA Players. I'll start mine is one by Grant Hill on Michael Jordan. "I was with the developmental team before the 1992 Olympics.The first day,I was matched up against Michael,and I was...trying to deny him the ball.He said,'Look,man,this ain't Duke. I CAN GET THE BALL WHENEVER I WANT,AND I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT WITH IT.'When I thouhgt about it,I realized he was right." - Grant Hill
Mine have always been the ones Magic and Bird have said, also The Admiral, but I haven't really been able to find any of his. ?Larry, you only told me one lie. You said there will be another Larry Bird. Larry, there will never, ever be another Larry Bird.?- Magic
Another MJ, it's so classic! MJ: Mutombo! Deke: What? MJ: This one is for you! And MJ hits a freethrow with his eyes closed!
Charles Barkley: <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">I am not a role model....</div> No truer words were ever spoken.
Jason Kidd "We're going to turn this team around 360 degrees" Yao Ming I can't remember why he said it: "How does a single blade of grass thank the sun?" Charles Barkley On Vince Carter: "Half man, Half season" I don't remember who said this but when he went to Japan he said something like, "I can't eat here, I hate Chinese food"
Shaq's "I thought Kyle Korver was Ashton Kutcher so I didn't come out to practice because I thought I was going to get Punk'D." Or something like that.
haha charles barkley has some crazy ones...that site was funny there was one by shaq in the 2001 finals where the lakers were up 3-1 against philly and he's like "For us its just one more win...and i dont give a shit how we win it....oops...did i just say shit? *Gets up* shit shit shit shit shit...*leaves* hahahaha and thers was one thing Yao ming said where he said somethin like "Winnin this game was like smelling turkey" or somehtin like that roflmao
Charles Barkley said this, i'm amazed - "It's really wrong for black people to be racists, because two wrongs don't make a right. White people don't know any better, that's the way they were taught, but black people knowhow it feels."
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting InNETSweTrust:</div><div class="quote_post">Charles Barkley makes the funniest quotes. http://www.clintcam.com/barkley/</div> Good link On Kevin Eubanks being a vegetarian: "I don't trust people that don't eat meat. Hey Kevin, you know what the difference between me and you is? When I die, I'll die because I was eating bad food. When you die, they'll say 'wooo that Kevin, he as dead as Charles'" Thanks Rakesh! I like that one the best.
Hahah. I knew you guys would like it. I can't believe he said that much funny one during his career. On a serious note, here's one by MJ: "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 again in my life. And that is why I succeed."

Yao Ming - " My favorite song is the national Anthem, I listen to it at least 82 times a year." lol, this was classic.
Here be some quotes from MJ during some of his infamous trash talking sessions with other players. "Oooooh,Isiah not helpin' ya this time Joe. What you gonna do? He ain't helpin' ya this time. You know what that means don't ya? You all mine.." Michael Jordan to Joe Dumars "Shut the hell up Mike and just play the damn game.." Joe Dumars to Michael Jordan moments before Michael drives the lane for for a shot but Joe gets a piece of the ball and knocks it away. Pippen snags the loose ball and puts a shot that clanks off the rim before it's rebounded by Grant,passed to Paxson and finally back to Jordan on the perimeter. "You got lucky that time Joe. You got lucky. You know you can't guard me Joe. See? Isiah leavin' your @$$ again cause he scared too. You can't stop me Joe all you gonna do is watch me as I drive past you and dunk on your boy..." Jordan moments before he drives past Dumars for a sweet reverse layup between two Piston defenders. "Told ya Joe. Shoulda listened..." Jordan as he runs past Dumars after the play. "Shut the **** up." Dumars to Jordan. ---------- "I'm gonna help you today John,right now I'm gonna tell you exactly what I'm gonna do..I'm gonna fake right and go left and go straight to the basket. But here's the thing..your @$$ still can't stop me." - Michael Jordan to John Starks moments before Jordan fakes right then drives left for a huge dunk over Oakley and Ewing. Then as Jordan gets to the other end of the floor to play defense Starks gets the ball... "You had a rough day John,so I'm be nice and back off and give you this one for free but use it wisely 'cause this the only one I'm givin' you.." - Michael Jordan to John Starks before Starks shoots a three that misses the rim by three feet. Once again they move to the other end of the court. Jordan gets the ball and Starks is guarding him once again on the perimeter... "You shook ain't ya? You're shook I can see it'n your eyes.You're shook I can tell by lookin' at ya. Yep you're shook I done took your heart and your game.." Michael Jordan to John Starks before faking left and pulling up to drain a long three.
Charles Barkeley should be a stand up comedian...He's really got some talent...He doesn't even talk about the games no more on TNT, he just messes around. that link is dope...I advise u guys to check it out.
IGN Sports: Did they make the video game Corey better looking than the real Corey? Corey Maggette: I wouldn't go that far. Of course I'm still better looking. [laughs] One thing about it, they have Yao Ming look way better in the video game than he does in real life. You have to see him up close to know what I'm saying. [laughs]
