There have been players with Indian heritage, but there hasn't been a Native-American professional basketball player who became a regular for all sorts of social and political reasons.
- Sherman Alexie
As a young man just beginning to publish some short fiction in the t&a magazines, I was fairly optimistic about my chances of getting published; I knew that I had some game, as the basketball players say these days, and I also felt that time was on my side; sooner or later the best-selling writers of the sixties and seventies would either die or go senile, making room for newcomers like me.
- Stephen King
...it was another year or two before I discovered that drat and draft were different words. During that same period I remember believing that details were dentals and that a bitch was an extremely tall woman. A son of a bitch was apt to be a basketball player. When you're six, most of your Bingo balls are still floating around in the draw-tank (27-8).
- Stephen King
When I lose the sense of motivation and the sense to prove something as a basketball player, it's time for me to move away from the game.
- Michael Jordan
There is no such thing as a perfect basketball player, and I don't believe there is only one greatest player either.
- Michael Jordan
I always wanted to be a basketball player.
- Ronnie James Dio
Poets are regarded as handicapped writers whose work must be treated with a tender condescension, such as one accords the athletic achievements of basketball players confined to wheelchairs.
- Thomas M Disch
I always dreamt of being a basketball player. A dream that only I believed in.
- David Duchovny
What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player.
- John Wooden
In my first film, I was a basketball player. Like every good actor, I lied when they asked me if I could play.
- David Morse
Not only is Rip Hamilton an outstanding basketball player, he is also known for giving back to his community.
- Jim Gerlach
Michael Jordon may have been the best basketball player in history, but he couldn't have won six NBA titles without a team.
- Mark E Hyman
My sporting hero was Drazen Petrovic, the NBA basketball player, who was killed in a car accident in 1993. He was a good friend, an unbelievable player, and I dedicated my Wimbledon win to him.
- Goran Ivanisevic
If you're a basketball player and you don't stop and take pictures with your fans, you can have an amazing game and everyone still loves you.
- Kim Kardashian
A lot of late nights in the gym, a lot of early mornings, especially when your friends are going out, you're going to the gym, those are the sacrifices that you have to make if you want to be an NBA basketball player.
- Jason Kidd
Magic Johnson, former basketball player, may run for mayor of L.A. in the next election. Remember the good 'ol days when only qualified people ran for office like actors and professional wrestlers.
- Jay Leno
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.
- Brian Mcknight
In the original script, my character was a basketball player rather than a boxer. I didn't think I could pull that off. I'm a little short to be a basketball player!
- Eddie Murphy
Then you've got Georgetown, and I really just like everything about them. When I went down there with my mom, it really opened my eyes to what they were all about. I have to factor in what a school like that can do for me, even away from being a basketball player.
- Nerlens Noel
And I want to do it the right way, like everybody else, not just a famous figurehead that gets a job because he is a famous basketball player. I want to really learn the business.
- Shaquille Oneal
When I look at the system here and look at my position - not just as a basketball player, but when I look around me at the values of the people and the culture and compare them with the values of where I came from - I feel so blessed to be from Africa.
- Hakeem Olajuwon
Kobe Bryant is my favorite basketball player. He takes risks. He goes for the shot. He isn't cautious with whatever he does.
- Haley Joel Osment
The pleasure of sport was so often the chance to indulge the cessation of time itself--the pitcher dawdling on the mound, the skier poised at the top of a mountain trail, the basketball player with the rough skin of the ball against his palm preparing for a foul shot, the tennis player at set point over his opponent--all of them savoring a moment before committing themselves to action.
- George Plimpton
I think that basketball players should get the job done no matter how it looks on the screen.
- Oscar Robertson
If you're a basketball player, you've got to shoot.
- Oscar Robertson
It wasn't about the X's and the O's and the strategy; it was more about keeping 12 guys focused and committed to a task. That group dynamic, and then helping them to grow as people and basketball players.
- Isaiah Thomas
If all I'm remembered for is being a good basketball player, then I've done a bad job with the rest of my life.

Once I grew from 6'1" to about 6'6", by that time I was going into 12th grade, and that's when I started wanting to play basketball, because, pretty much basketball players always got the girl.
