The hardest people to play in front of are my brothers and friends from childhood, because I can never take them seriously. I know when they're sitting in the stands; it's constant jokes. They're just waiting on me to shoot an air ball or dribble the ball off my foot so they can laugh.

I have never once dribbled the whole field and scored a goal by myself.

In general I like a guy who is athletic, somebody who can teach me something. Whether it's teaching me a new way to cut on a wave or teach me a three-point conversion or teach me how to dribble a soccer ball. There's something really cool about that.

Aimee Teegarden

Cool Who Whether

I make a dribble or a simple pass, knowing that if I lose the ball near the area, the opponent can score. I am aware of what I do on the pitch, but I always do it to help the team. That's why, occasionally ,I also boot the ball into the stands.

Alisson

War Wing Win

Play the pass at the right moment - not on a dry pitch and not hitting it hard enough. We don't have to accept it; that was a mistake - no goalkeeper should dribble in this situation.

Alisson

Mom Men Tin

If you never pass or dribble or go on the outside, cutting inside will stop working.

Arjen Robben

Work You Working

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

Great Wit Us

I think my versatility is a big strength. I don't think anybody can guard me, just because I'm 6'10 and can dribble and play point. If I have a little guy on me, I take him to the post. For me to be able to then pass the ball, it helps me a lot.

Ben Simmons

Strength Versatility Use

I'm not Giovinco. I don't get the ball and dribble past three players.

Bradley Wright-Phillips

Three T Players

I don't keep an ongoing dribble of updates of my day, but I tell little compartmentalized stories every day on Snapchat. I use it much more like making a movie than maintaining a diary. When people watch my 60-second clips, there's a beginning, middle, and end.

Casey Neistat

Men Art Watch

When I reach the line, I just know I'm going to dribble the ball twice, and when I shoot, I know it's going in. I get there and relax. I've put more in than I have missed, so in my head, I know they're going in.

Chris Mullin

Us Twice Than

You don't get the ball and dribble; you get it and move it.

Chris Mullin

You T Move

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.

Christian Laettner

Good You Want

I am capable of dribbling the ball. I can dribble. And I can play a little defense!

Danny Green

T Play Pa

We are over 60 percent water by weight. We're just a big ball of... blob of water, with enough organic thickener added so we don't dribble away on the floor.

David Suzuki

Wit Weight Weigh

I've been double-teamed my whole life. I know when a double team's coming. I know what side the guy's coming from. I know how to dribble out of it.

Deandre Ayton

Life Whole Who

Dudes are coming at me every day; I'm playing different positions on the defensive end. I'm really working on that, because that's the next level. In the league, everybody can dribble.

Deandre Ayton

Work Yin Working

I had a two-dribble limit.

Dell Curry

Two T MIT

My dad always taught me the fundamentals of the game: dribble, pass, shoot. So I never relied heavily on any one thing until I got to college, when I was just adjusting to the team.

Devin Booker

Men Ways Way

I'm one of those players who loves to dribble the ball, to run at people.

Douglas Costa

Love Who UN

In the NBA, there's always a guy who is only around because he can jump. He doesn't have a clue about the fundamentals. I learn more from the WNBA. They know how to dribble, how to pivot, how to use the shot fake.

Draymond Green

Men WNBA Who

There are certain guys in the league that get their rhythm off their dribble.

Draymond Green

Messi is just an anomaly: he can dribble, he can score, he can pass, he has the vision, he understands the game.

Edgar Davids

Dembele likes to take players on. He's a dribbler and a power player who likes to break into space; he has the ability to do this. He has a lot of virtues.

Ernesto Valverde

Playing with Coutinho is easy. He's a very quick player who dribbles well. He knows how to play out wide, and my job is not just to go past and help him: it's also to give the greatest number of passes to him in space around the opposition right-back.

Filipe Luis

People expect you to dribble past 10 players and put the ball in the back of the net.

Fran Kirby

In days of yore, Opening Day of the baseball season was special, signifying that spring had come at last. Today, however, Opening Day sort of dribbles into existence, and the spiritual start of spring now belongs to the Masters golf tournament, where the azaleas and magnolias and dogwood bloom.

Frank Deford

Normally, midfielders only pass the ball, but I dribble as well.

Frenkie de Jong

I'm never going to be seen as an attacking midfielder who's going to dribble past anyone, create untold chances, and score lots of goals, but going forward is something I've always enjoyed doing.

Gareth Barry

Youth sports could not exist without millions of volunteers and modestly paid coaches who teach our children how to skate and catch and dribble and also how to get along with others.

George Vecsey

Because I was fast, technical, and could dribble well, it was always the easy thing to label me just a winger and have me stick to that.

Georginio Wijnaldum

I'm never going to be one of these players who dribbles past three and bends it into the top corner from 25 yards. That's not me.

Glenn Murray

Look at the best dribblers in the world, Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta, and the ball seems to stick to their foot, so I can work on that when I am dribbling.

Jack Wilshere

I'm way more comfortable off the dribble, shooting the ball of the dribble, making a play off the dribble.

Jae Crowder

The greatest set shooter ever? Larry Joe Bird. Period. The best coming off screen? Reginald Miller. And the best off the dribble? Steph Curry.

Jalen Rose

I feel like I can get any shot I want. That's not to sound cocky or conceited. It's because I've played basketball basically every day of my life. So at some point, I've taken just about every shot there is. I've figured out the angles, almost like a pool shark. I know where to use the glass, which dribble I need and which spot I want to reach.

Jamal Crawford

Wherever I go, I have a basketball with me. I used to dribble a basketball down the street to the movie theater, to the mall.

Jamal Crawford

Nobody likes it when people dribble past them, me included, but I can't tackle.

Jay-Jay Okocha

Athletes aren't allowed to have an opinion. It's tough. Athletes are evolving right in front of our eyes. You see athletes who are politicians, etc., and still, we're told to shut up and dribble.

Jaylen Brown

The hardest people to play in front of are my brothers and friends from childhood, because I can never take them seriously. I know when they're sitting in the stands; it's constant jokes. They're just waiting on me to shoot an air ball or dribble the ball off my foot so they can laugh.

Jimmy Butler

My parents were kind of over protective people. Me and my sister had to play in the backyard all the time. They bought us bikes for Christmas but wouldn't let us ride in the street, we had to ride in the backyard. Another Christmas, my dad got me a basketball hoop and put it in the middle of the lawn! You can't dribble on grass.

Jimmy Fallon

I had a basketball net that my dad had put up outside. I went out there and dribbled all day long. I wanted to play basketball. Then I'd go baseball, and then I'd go to football. I remember playing football in a plowed field. I grew up going from one thing to the next wanting to play something.

Joe Gibbs

I love when people tell me that I was gonna be a bust. I enjoy when people tell me, 'You suck. You can't dribble. You can't shoot,' because it's like, gotta go to the gym.

Joel Embiid

You can dribble on carpet. I grew up in Queens, and we had carpet in our living room. And actually, even in some of these gymnasiums where we're playing the game, we're on carpet. If you're 12 or 13 years old, you've dribbled on the carpet in your mom's house.

Kenny Smith

I like to dribble to Queen's 'Another One Bites the Dust.'

Kenny Smith

Ballhandling - I made it a focus in all my workouts - working on my handles coming off screens with it, one or two-dribble pull-ups, making second moves, trying to mix it up and continuing to get better each day.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

I developed my game a lot and learned how to score off the dribble. I learned how to play team defense and one-on-one defense.

Khris Middleton

I'm not a guy who makes five or 10 moves. I'm just more of a simple, straight-line driver, just try to be crafty with my dribble and keep it tight.

Khris Middleton

Just working on stuff off the dribble a lot more. It's helping me create my own shot and freeing me up a little bit, being able to make plays and make shots.

Khris Middleton

At the end of 2003, my game was complete. Shooting, defense, using the dribble, transition, midrange stuff was all there. Then it was about fine-tuning and trying to improve in each area.

Kobe Bryant

I think I can bring to the NBA versatility. I feel like the league is going toward four men that can pass, dribble, shoot, rebound, defend. I think I can do all that and bring that to the table at the highest level.
