You don't play against opponents; you play against the game of basketball.
Every game is an opportunity to measure yourself against your own potential.

The most dangerous phrase in the language is, 'We've always done it this way.'
Life is more like a wrestling match than a boxing match.
In life, as in a football game, the principle to follow is: Hit the line hard.
Winning is not everything, but making the effort to win is.
It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game.
Life is a game where the player must appear ridiculous.
The game is never over; the score is just an excuse to start again.

Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.
