BASKETBALL QUOTES
Pat Riley, well know for his attempts to motivate his team, once while
with the Lakers tried to to throw a chair, only to find that it weighed
more than he thought and he was only able to move it a few feet. Kurt
Rambis: "That might have motivated me after I was done laughing."
Agent Keith Glass on how the new collective bargaining agreement will
affect agents: "We're like rats; we adapt."
Nick Van Exel (LAL) on defending the Stockton-Malone pick-and-roll: "Yeah,
I got a way to defend it. Bring a bat to the game and kill one of them."
Ref Joey Crawford calling a foul on Stokjo Vrankovic (LAC): "Loose ball
foul on whatever the hell his name is."
Erick Strickland (Dal) when asked how things were going with the Mavs:
"Like we've just finished five rounds in the ring with Mike Tyson."
Brian Williams (Det) on Isiah Thomas: "Light travels faster than sound, so
some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak."
2/18 Sam Cassell on a 114-104 New Jersey loss to Atlanta: "We really
didn't deserve to win. They didn't either. It should have been a tie."
1/20 Utah PA announcer Dan Roberts: "Not dressed tonight due to pregnancy
is Adam Keefe." Keefe's wife gave birth to twins.
Toronto (4-26) coach Darrell Walker's New Year's resolution: "Not to kill
myself."
Detroit assistant coach Alvin Gentry wanted to see if any of his players
actually read his pregame chalkboard, so he wrote "First one to trainer's
room, $100," and waited. It took 11 minutes before rookie Scot Pollard
approached him for the money.
Reggie Miller (Ind) on his game winning shot vs Phoenix: "It was so
quiet you could hear a rat pee on cotton."

you're the Louisville Slugger and some nights you're the ball. Tonight,
we were definitely the ball. We got hit, and we got hit hard."
