I played football; I was a running back, and I took a hit, and I had a hairline fracture in my leg which no one spotted, and I was playing basketball all winter and it got worse. And then I was long jumping, about 20 feet, and I landed one time and t...
[first lines] [the Jets dance across the streets of New York, eventually coming to a playground where they toss around a basketball. The ball is intercepted by Bernardo, leader of the Sharks] Riff: [snaps fingers at Bernardo] Come on. [Bernardo drops...
First impressions matter more in basketball than in any other sport, and they can be savored only in person. Players can't hide behind pads or helmets, so we can stare at them, evaluate every move they make: running, jumping, walking, even ogling the...
I was a sports nut. I stayed after school probably three hours every day - from fall, to winter, to spring. I went from football to basketball to track, and it started all over again. I loved all of it. I just loved being an athlete and all that it e...
The game of basketball has been everything to me. My place of refuge, place I've always gone where I needed comfort and peace. It's been the site of intense pain and the most intense feelings of joy and satisfaction. It's a relationship that has evol...
I have way too many hobbies. I play guitar, and my buddies and I record music in a studio in my house. I have a couple of vintage Jeeps I'm always working on, fixing up. And I ride horses - I grew up on a horse ranch - and play basketball. I need to ...
I remember playing a high school basketball game where I didn't eat anything for breakfast. I ate, you know, like a PB and J and some chips for lunch and nothing before the game. I didn't make it through the first quarter. I wish I hadn't have learne...
From day one, since I was traded to the Clippers, the team has been amazing to not only me, but to my family.
I try to compartmentalize as much as possible, and I have the most amazing team in the world. They really set up my time in a way that is completely efficient all the time.
I played against the Brazilians in '82, who were definitely the best team never to have won the World Cup.
I always liked co-ed events best so we have two men and two women on each team.
I am very happy to be signing for the best team in the world and especially proud to be the first Portuguese player to join United.
A busy schedule can be difficult, but I have the best husband on the planet. He supports my endeavors, and we work as a team.
For me, I've learned that the best thing is to focus on the team you play for and yourself and what you need to do.
The best work for creative folks on the team is when the problem is big and the solution escapes everyone.
You can have the best team in baseball, and if nobody goes through the turnstiles, you've got to shut the doors down.
It was the best job I ever had. I just left because my whole team was leaving and the new guys were coming.
The manager of a team is like a stagecoach, he can't move unless he has the horses.
When you're young and desperate to hold on to a place in the team you do whatever is asked of you.
If you look at my career, I've never gone to a team that had fulfilled their potential.
I own a Ferrari race team, and we race all over North America.
