I'm not comfortable being preachy but more people need to start spending as much time in the library as they do on the basketball court.

When I lose the sense of motivation and the sense to prove something as a basketball player it's time for me to move away from the game.

Whatever I lack in size and strength and speed I kind of make up for in being grittier. When it comes to something like basketball I'm definitely not the best guy on the court but I love elbowing and pushing people out or boxing them out.

I'm a big sports guy - golf tennis baseball basketball snowboarding - and I love games.

As all of us with any involvement in sports knows no two umpires or no two referees have the same strike zone or call the same kind of a basketball game.

I'm a huge huge sports fan and Marquette basketball is my No. 1 thing.

I started playing baseball and soccer. Those were my sports on the streets and in school when I was growing up. I didn't even start playing basketball until I was 14.

One reason outfielders don't have stronger arms might be they don't practice as much as we did. Most teams today don't take outfield practice. Another reason is baseball has to compete with other sports now - basketball football soccer - for the better athletes that might have more skills and stronger arms.

I think we have our sports within our own culture that are huge with baseball football basketball and hockey. Those are the sports in America that we grow up with and soccer isn't really there yet.

I also developed an interest in sports and played in informal games at a nearby school yard where the neighborhood children met to play touch football baseball basketball and occasionally ice hockey.

I grew up playing sports football basketball baseball everything and acting was such a different environment and different world for me.

In America we have three major sports - baseball football and basketball. They get the most coverage. Then there's things like golf which mop up most of what is left. But track and field? We are way at the bottom of the totem pole.

Football basketball and the Olympic sports all have their problems with banned substances.

When I was a kid I was always an athlete. I played a lot of sports. I played football basketball baseball and soccer.

I played a lot of sports and it's the plays in basketball that weren't worked out that are the ones that are just fantastic that you remember. We don't know the power that's within our own bodies.

I love various sports including basketball tennis and billiards.

Everyone thought I was going to die like a year later they didn't know. So I helped educate sports and then the world that a man living with HIV can play basketball. He's not going to give it to anybody by playing basketball.

Competing in both track and field and basketball for the Bruins I have a lot of great memories to choose from. But my all-time favorite moment in collegiate sports has to be in 1982 when we won UCLA's first NCAA title in track.

The tradition in Serbia has always been team sports - football basketball handball volleyball and water polo individual sports are not supported.

I played sports year around: basketball soccer softball and I ran track year around from the time I was like six seven.

I like sports and I enjoy playing basketball and lifting weights.

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.

Baseball happens to be a game of cumulative tension but football basketball and hockey are played with hand grenades and machine guns.

Basketball is like war in that offensive weapons are developed first and it always takes a while for the defense to catch up.

You don't play against opponents you play against the game of basketball.

When I was growing up we used to play basketball in a park that was never shoveled when it snowed. The basketball rims were never fixed. And we understood then that there was a relationship between public policy and our quality of life.

I lived to play basketball. Growing up as a kid Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics were my favorite team. The way they played the teamwork the sacrifice the commitment the joy the camaraderie the relationship with the fans.

I am sure that no man can derive more pleasure from money or power than I do from seeing a pair of basketball goals in some out of the way place.

We don't do things we aren't good at by nature. I wouldn't play basketball because I'm only 5' 1". Find what you enjoy - whether it's racing, flying a helicopter, being a doctor, or stitching clothes together. Once you've done that, you have the passion you need.

I run in the morning lift weights in the afternoon basketball training at night and then lift weights again at night.
