I play guitar, and I'm a decent basketball player - people like to play on my team.
Adam Pally
I took the time to mentally figure out what I needed to do to be the best basketball player I could be for my team.
Andre Drummond
Most of the time, it's easy for us basketball players to adjust to our situation.
Andre Iguodala
It's just something I pride myself on as a basketball player, having that knowledge, being the guy who can go to any situation and make the situation better for that team.
I don't want to be a basketball player that's a businessman. I want to be a businessman that's a business.
I always wanted to present myself well and express my style with my clothes, as well as who I was as a basketball player.
Since leaving cricket, I've tried my hand at professional boxing, a live stage show, and working for TV. I've had some interesting experiences, including working with the former basketball player Dennis Rodman.
Andrew Flintoff
At the end of the day I'm a basketball player. I'm going to try and shoot more threes than mid-range or long twos or whatever. But if someone gives you a shot, you're a basketball player, you got to make reads and play.
Andrew Wiggins
My parents thought I was crazy. When I graduated, you didn't hear of basketball players going to Japan. Everyone went to Europe somewhere.
Anne Donovan
I just feel like I'm a basketball player. I don't really have a position. I can play inside. I can play out. So whatever a team needs, I think I got it.
Anthony Bennett
I'm just a basketball player going out there and trying to get wins.
I'm a huge LeBron James fan. I love The Heat. He's an incredible basketball player.
Ashley Bell
I don't know what position Scottie was; he was just a basketball player. He could dribble, shoot, pass and rebound. Defensively, he was excellent. He had quick hands and quick feet with a great understanding of the game. He could do it all.
B. J. Armstrong
So much has been said about Michael Jordan as a basketball player, but when I played with him, the Michael I knew was just Michael. I guess more than anything is that I got to experience the human side of the so-called gladiators, warriors and heroes that we worship.
Every now and then you have to be a little nasty, a little aggressive on the floor. That's part of being a basketball player.
My whole childhood I grew up wanting to be a professional basketball player.
Becky Hammon
But really, I've worked my whole life to become a great basketball player. When I see that jersey go up, I'm sure I'm gonna have flashbacks to when I was 4 and 5 years old playing in my driveway because I loved it. I still love it to this day. It's been one of my first loves in life: basketball.
If we can take young people who excel at the highest levels, put them on the same kind of pedestal as the all-state basketball player and the all-state football player, and begin to get the same kind of recognition, it will have a profound effect, and we are finding that it does.
Ben Carson
As a kid, I always idolized entrepreneurs. I thought they were cool people in the way that I thought basketball players were cool people. It's cool that some people get paid to dunk basketballs, but I'm not one of those people.
Ben Silbermann
I've never allowed my political life, or my life as a basketball player, to define the totality of my humanity or my personality.
Bill Bradley
Everyone needs a coach. It doesn't matter whether you're a basketball player, a tennis player, a gymnast or a bridge player.
If we want the best pitcher, let's get Bobby Feller. If want the best football player, let's get Jimmy Brown; the best basketball player, let's get Bill Russell. If we want the guy who can do the best job for the United States - let's get Donald Trump.
When I was growing up, I drew my favorite basketball players.
I have the same routine every day just to make me a better basketball player, and I'm going to continue the routine just to see where it gets me and how I can reach my potential.
Every little kid that steps on the court or the field has aspirations to go pro. I think being a pro basketball player is the best job. The thing I had to realize was that I can't do every dream that I have.
I was a very passionate basketball player, really enjoyed the sport. I played it my entire life.
Other people need to be forward thinkers. Not just basketball players. Not just people in the sports world. But people in general.
I'm not just a dumb basketball player who got lucky and graduated from college. My ratio for professor to student was nine-to-one so it wasn't like I wasn't going to class. I was going to class every day.
As a former NCAA basketball player, many of the skills I now rely on as a leader took root on the basketball court: teamwork, integrity, and resilience are just some of the traits I've carried over into my professional game.
I want to do more to create more awareness so that the people in our communities aren't just thinking that you just got to be a basketball player or a rapper, because that's what I thought.
I feel like LeBron James is an amazing basketball player, but he's also a community person.
I do something that I don't think anyone else does. I warm up before a game. Baseball and basketball players warm up, so why shouldn't the announcer warm up?
Being a great basketball player is only part of who you are.
Whether you're tall and you play a basketball player, or overweight and you play somebody who is dealing with the issues behind the weight, we all have to pull from real life to make those performances authentic.
I think every basketball player I know loves ping pong. Everyone played in on the Dream Team. I played Clyde Drexler and Chris Mullin and even David Stern once. David Stern saw I was pretty good.
I did pursue to be a good basketball player.
It's very important to know how to dribble and pass and catch and cut at a very high level if you want to be a good basketball player.
I can't say I go through life liking it and that I pursue to be hated, but I did pursue to be a good basketball player.
I wasn't a bad basketball player, but I was far from the world's greatest. Good defense, no offense - that was me.
Everybody knows that, in general, a basketball player needs to be tall and a fashion model needs to be skinny, but how skinny is too skinny?
Basketball was always my sport. It just took me until my second year of college for me to realize that I was a better baseball player than a basketball player. But basketball was always my number one love. Finally found out I was better at baseball and chose to pursue that route.
It's easy to be just a basketball player, get paid and come here to do that. But to be professional about it is different.
I think, growing up, I was seen as the perfect power forward. For a long time, I thought maybe I was supposed to be a basketball player.
Anytime you get a chance to play in front of a big crowd is always good I feel like, for any basketball player.
I feel like I grew up differently, when you're a child actor you grow up differently, but it's not that different than growing up as, like, a child basketball player who goes to the NBA. There are certain kids who become professionals at a very young age. There's a lot of sacrifice that goes into that.
I always dreamt of being a basketball player. A dream that only I believed in.
In my first film, I was a basketball player. Like every good actor, I lied when they asked me if I could play.
I'm just a basketball player. There's so much I can do on the floor.
Just knowing your dad is a professional basketball player, it just makes you feel like you're destined for.
I always wanted to be a basketball player. Nothing more, nothing less.
