"Good , Better , Best. Never stop till your good is better, and your better best"-Tim Duncan
"Dun stop working hard cux when u r stopping , elsewhere , ppl are working twice as hard to surpass u"-Gilbert Arenas
"If they are scoring, I keep feeding them. If they are missing them, then I’ll do me."-Gilbert Arenas
"plying evry game lik it's my last"-Allen Iverson
“If I start thinking about who's on the opposing team and I've got to play well against that team, then the next night when we play against guys without the big names, then you don't play so well. So you try and keep a consistent approach.”-Allen Iverson
"If that many people recognize how hard I go every night and what I put into my game, to make myself and my team better, it means a lot to mean. I'm fortunate; I'm blessed to be in the situation that I'm in right now."-Allen Iverson
“I’m not perfect. But I am trying every day to concentrate on being better."-Allen Iverson
"If you’re struggling with your shooting, then do other things on the basketball court. Get steals, get assists, get rebounds—do anything on the court to help the team win."-Allen Iverson
"Talent/Offence wins games , Teamwork/Defense wins championship" - Coaches/Bruce Bowen
"Ubuntu" -Doc Rivers
“I try to anticipate exactly where my teammates are going to be. Sometimes I look good. Sometimes I look bad-Jason Kidd
“In order to do great things, you have to take on challenges in your life. I’m doing nothing but taking on different challenges.”-Tracy Mcgrady
"I have missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot... and missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why... I succeed."-Michael Jordan
"If it turns out that my best wasn't good enough, at least I won't look back and say that I was afraid to try; failure makes me work even harder."-Michael Jordan
"I've failed over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed."-Michael Jordan
"Anybody can take the shot when two teams are equal when time is winding down, it takes a man to take that same shot when his team is down by 1 or 2"-Larry Bird
"The true test of a person's character is when no one is looking at him"-Steve Nash
"I try to penetrate the lane like Steve Nash, pass like Jason Kidd and handle the ball like Allen Iverson."-Chris Paul

“It comes down to consistency—if you want to be a great shooter, you have to shoot the same way every time.”-Ray Allen
"At the end of the day, what brought me back here was my players, the guys I've played with. That meant more to me�than anything. "-Ray Allen
"To all the positions, I just bring the determination to win. Me being an unselfish player, I think that can carry on to my teammates. When you have one of the best players on the court being unselfish, I think that transfers to the other players. "-Lebron James
"A lot of players know how to play the game, but they really don’t know how to play the game, if you know what I mean. They can put the ball in the hoop, but I see things before they even happen. You know how a guy can make his team so much better? That’s one thing I learned from watching Jordan."-Lebron James
"Sometimes the coaches tell me to be selfish, but my game won’t let me be selfish."-Lebron James
“I’m a point guard, I’ve always been a point guard, I’ve played point guard all my life. Personally, I feel the best point guards make other players look better and create their own shot. I fit in that category.”-Chauncey Billups

"I know that good things will happen for me if I keep working hard."-Michael Redd

"Hard work pays."-Jason Terry
"I dedicated myself to the game and never disrespected it."-Jason Terry
"You’ve got to love the game and the game will love you back." -Jason Terry
"If you can take pride in what you’re doing on defense, it’s going to be pretty hard for that offensive opponent to go by you or make a shot over you."-Jason Terry
"I try to get control of the tempo, control of the flow, and get my teammates the ball in the best position to score."-Deron Williams
"[When you're on fire] it feels like nobody's out there, you're playing by yourself. You don't care how good a defender is guarding you."-Vince Carter
“I take a lot of favorite moves from great players and add them to my repertoire.”-Vince Carter
“I like to smile, even in intense situations. My opponents don't know how to react when they see me smile.”-Vince Carter
“I’d much rather be second fiddle on a contender than a so-called superstar on a bad team.”-Richard Hamilton
“Getting up at three in the morning to watch Michael Jordan, I never dreamed one day I would be kissing that trophy."-Tony Parker
"Who cares who gets the last shot or scores the most points? Who cares who gets the credit? If we win, we’re all winners."-Paul Pierce
“My approach has been that a player with determination and a willingness to work harder than anyone else can accomplish anything. It’s a simple formula. I’ve found it works.”-Steve Nash
“I feel very comfortable going at full speed.”-Steve Nash
