The basketball coach cut me within two days, so I was back in the pool. I was the first one in the wall after the first 25 yards, but the last one out because I didn't have a flip turn.
Merlin Olsen

The business always gets in the way of basketball.
Jason Kidd

The caliber of play suffered and attendance declined year by year. Interest in college football was exploding, and there was this new game called basketball.
John Thorn

The cast gets along pretty well, it's a good work environment. I hang out a lot with Brett Claywell, he plays Tim Smith on the show. We play plenty of basketball.
James Lafferty

The invention of basketball was not an accident. It was developed to meet a need. Those boys simply would not play 'Drop the Handkerchief.'
James Naismith

The only reason I went to college was to play basketball. I injured my knee and couldn't play.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan

The thing I like about my body is that it's strong. I can move furniture around my apartment. I can ride my horse... I can play basketball. It's a well functioning machine.
Cindy Crawford

Theaters are great. They're designed to sound good, not for basketball.
Les Claypool

Then I went to UCLA - so of course I became a huge Bruin basketball fan... and later came to football.

Trying to take money out of politics is like trying to take jumping out of basketball.
Bill Bradley

Walking has been ridiculous in college basketball the past 15 years.
Bobby Knight

We look for opportunities to play together including basketball, tennis, swimming, riding bikes and touch football. I try to provide a loving environment where we can play. I think that's good on so many levels - emotionally, for family interactions and, of course, physically.
Alan Thicke

We've got to play better basketball.
Tim Buckley

What you are as a person is far more important that what you are as a basketball player.
John Wooden

When I look at the system here and look at my position - not just as a basketball player, but when I look around me at the values of the people and the culture and compare them with the values of where I came from - I feel so blessed to be from Africa.
Hakeem Olajuwon

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.
DeForest Soaries

When it gets down to it, basketball is basketball.
Larry Bird

With me and basketball, it became part of me.
Mike Krzyzewski

Yeah, I like cars and basketball. But you know what I like more? Bananas.
