Accelerate Quotes
I don't think you're going to hear anything about Phil's next step in the NBA, if there is a next step in the NBA, until a new champion is crowned. I don't think Phil is going to accelerate the pace of any discussions. He has obligations that are non-NBA related. As it turns out, his calendar of engagements ... frees itself right around the time the NBA playoffs conclude. That's the time when we could really jump into it if there are serious offers.
-
Bit Quotes
I don?t think you try and get him ready for an NBA season. You take it day by day and as that comes along, I think he?ll get a little bit better and a little bit stronger. As he watches and sees other players out on the floor, the things they have to do out on the floor to get themselves ready, I think he?ll be better at it.
-
Defensive Quotes
I don't think it will take long. We understand what the game plan is every game going out. The transition more than anything will probably be defensively, because everybody played different defensive schemes, and our scheme is probably one of the toughest schemes in the NBA because we work a lot harder.
-
Communist Quotes
If you are going to be in that type of position, you better even things out. All men are created equal. In the United States, you are equal. Is the NBA a communist bloc? Or is this an equal democracy? He needs to figure that one out. And if he doesn't, I'm going to make it a democracy.

Best Quotes
He's honestly the best person I think I know. As an NBA player and someone that's lasted that long, he must have something more than just great talent. You have to have a good spirit and uplift the kids. It's been a wonderful friendship with him and his family now. It's going to be wonderful to see him more now since he's moving back here. It's been a wonderful experience. Hubert is incredible.

Basketball Quotes
Hollywood and entertainment people are in Las Vegas on a regular basis. Sports stars and legends from all sports are in our town, and now you bring in the best basketball there is in the world, the NBA All-Star game. Combine that with their legends, it is going to be a tremendous weekend for all the participants.
-
Against Quotes
He's a talented athlete. He can handle the basketball. He can pass. He can shoot. He can defend. He's a total-package player. On a couple of those shots, he was at NBA range. There's some things you've got to give up. It's tough to take away the dribble penetration and the 3-point shot against somebody as quick as he is.
-
Control Quotes
He's played great. He's fun to watch and our team has played a lot better with him in the lineup. For me, I'm just trying to get back and play as well as I can when I'm in there and see how it shakes out. There is that part where you think about the future, but in the NBA there are a lot of good players. All you can control is your play while you're out there.
-
Guys Quotes
Half of the guys were asking, 'What is this about? This is just about a hoop game, right?' I said, 'No, no it's not. You'll find out. It's a lot more than that. I would recommend the NBA show it to all of its young players. These Texas Western guys paved the way, and a lot of these guys don't even know it.
-
Awful Quotes
It always was big when we were in the NBA Finals because we had an Elvis Presley-caliber celebrity on our team in Michael Jordan. But the World Series is much bigger. I've never seen Chicago this excited. Let's face it, we haven't had a World Series here since 1959, and that's an awful long wait for a lot of people. Winning all those championships with the Bulls was great, but it would be the ultimate of my sports career if we win a world championship.
-
Coming Quotes
It could be marketable ... Shaquille O'Neal coming in here on a Wednesday night (Jan. 4) ... That's kind of exciting. Or the former KU players who play in the NBA ... We don't want to look like we were trying to be opportunistic, but now we're at the point, if it's good for Kansas City, we're going to be supportive.
-
Coached Quotes
It is a great experience. The two teams I coached on the men's side were some of the most exciting moments in my coaching life. Obviously winning NBA Championships and CBA Championships and being in the WNBA Finals are all highlights. But playing and coaching for your country in a gold medal game is pretty intense.
-
Allen Quotes
I think with Ray you got somebody who really is an unusual person and an unusual player in the NBA in terms of his character, his leadership and how he takes care of himself, ... If you were going to make a bet on someone, I think Ray Allen is the poster child for that. I feel very comfortable.
-
Ability Quotes
It gives me great pleasure to welcome Charlotte back into the NBA, since we appreciate how supportive their fans have been in the past. We are particularly excited to have Robert Johnson as our newest owner. Bob has shown a great understanding for building a new company, and we are confident in his ability to develop a strong NBA organization.

Bob Quotes
Over the past 11-plus seasons, the Sonics have the fifth-best winning record in the NBA including four division titles. Bob Weiss has been a significant contributor to that success. His loyalty and insights have been extremely valuable to this organization. We thank him for all of his efforts and look forward to an ongoing relationship with him.
-
Decide Quotes
I think right now Fred is just trying to decide what he wants to do, whether he wants to coach, be in the front office or play. I think he could do all three. He still can make shots. He's very knowledgeable of the NBA to be in the front office or to be a coach. It's a good dilemma to have.
-
Bobby Quotes
It does put us in the same bracket with the way Phoenix played last year. Phoenix could bring in a big power forward, or it could put Shawn Marion at power forward. It kind of makes us like that, and that makes us dangerous. If you put Bobby at power forward, there's not a power forward in the NBA that can guard Bobby Simmons.
-
Air Quotes
We have to rectify so many things on offense. We're a high-turnover team now, which is No. 1. Secondly, we're a very poor shooting team from all areas, from 2-point range, 3-point range and the free-throw line. We shoot more air balls now on the perimeter than any team ? I've never seen any NBA team miss as badly as we do.
-
Attack Quotes
We have to move the ball and attack the gaps in the zone to create open shots. Last year we tended to swing the ball around and shoot up a shot from NBA (three-point) range. They were pushing us back and we weren't being aggressive. ... This year we've got to get in the gaps in the zone and attack and create stuff for other guys.
