“Doug Christie, what skill, what strenght, what power, what quickness.”

Bill Russell was my favorite player of all-time.

Mick Jagger is in better shape than far too many NBA players. It’s up in the air whether the same can be said of Keith Richards.

The NCAA is working night and day trying to get Jerry, but no one from the NCAA ever questioned me during my four years at UCLA!

Growing up, my parents were very, very strict. And then I went to UCLA with John Wooden, who was just off the charts.

Basketball, Sports, Winning, Average

I was a skinny, scrawny guy. I stuttered horrendously, couldn’t speak at all. I was a very shy, reserved player and a very shy, reserved person. I found a safe place in life in basketball.

Kazemi has to understand that nobody is going to tell him he has to go back to Iran if he misses a shot.

Never rank, rate, or compare coaches, children, concerts, or championships or congratulations. Just enjoy them all.

If you’re living for today, if you’re only dreaming about yesterday, it doesn’t work. You got to know that tomorrow is going to be better. Then you’re on your way.

I like a lot of other music and listen to a lot of other music, but one of the greatest things about the Grateful Dead is they played all the time.

I went to my first show [of the Grateful Dead], got right up front and never left. The incredible excitement, the family, the spirit, the hope, the happiness, all the different things I love and live for in life are there.

There are no guarantees in life. The simple twists of fate and the breaks of the game are the two maxims that define so much of the success and failure in life.

I might be the most injured athlete in the history of sports. I’ve had 31 operations. An endless string of stress fractures.

Health is the most critical thing in our life. With your health anything is possible, without it you can’t do anything.

What a pathetic play from a pathetic human being.

Tim Duncan’s foot issue, I think, is a major factor in this year’s playoffs. That’s not the kind of injury that gets better over time playing NBA basketball.

All the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill the history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill at dancing.

Creative thinking is not a talent, it is a skill that can be learned. It empowers people by adding strength to their natural abilities which improves teamwork, productivity and, where appropriate, profits.

To develop thinking as a skill, it should be deliberate, focused, confident, and enjoyable.

There’s a lot of producers that are much more technical or gear-skilled than I am. But I have a pure idea of what I like and where I want to go and I follow that.

I have no wisdom, no skills, and no faith but I received strength, it tears the world apart. I shall break, a heavy wave, against its shores and a young wave will cover my trace.

I apologize for my terrible interview skills.

The whole year I was in LA I got into telemarketing and learned how to make money. Five years later that skill helped me make my first film.

Musically, he was like an old man in a boy’s skin.
