Smart drafting is a wonderful thing. A smart free-agent signing is a wonderful thing. Smart trades are a wonderful thing, and that's a function of management.

I'm not big on looking back beyond the moment in which decisions and events occur. I'm always pushing forward.

It's not the NBA Finals, it's not even a regular-season game. It's the All-Star game, it's a celebration. A celebration of talent, speed, grace. Let's put it on display and have some fun.

You walk into the playgrounds in Shanghai and Beijing, and you see youngsters who are shorter, shaking and baking and having attitude. And Jeremy Lin is going to inspire all of them.

Follow your dreams and make the most of every experience.

Everyone knows that if you can keep on making money, everyone's happy.

Everyone said that the NBA could not possibly make it because it had too many black players.

I think that players play, and they compete, and it's not about incentives.

I'm working hard to see whether there can be basketball next year.

I'm coming 'round to the view that there's only a personal view of the world.

This race is never grateful: from the first, One fills their cup at supper with pure wine, Which back they give at cross-time on a sponge, In bitter vinegar.

Normally when a person has a stellar image another person's waiting in the wings to tear them apart. They're waiting for that one fatal flaw to expose itself.

The thriller is not a recent invention. It probably goes back to the dawn of storytelling.

It is the success which makes great men.

I don't travel in circles where people say, 'I have faith, I believe this in my heart and nothing you can say or do can shake my faith.' That's just a long-winded religious way to say 'Shut up.'

Thats all I need. To find a soul mate to share my life with. To have a love so epic it will never die.

Followers do not like themselves, of course; that's why they crawl. And masters have nothing but contempt for their subservants, which is why they impose such colorful embarrassments upon them.
