Top 5 favorite basketball quotes of all time?

[Manute for Ever!]

"We've turned this team around 360 degrees"

-Jason Kidd

"An open letter to Wilt Chump-erlain: You'll always be remembered as a whining cry-baby and a quitter."

-Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in his autobiography, "Kareem"

It seems like only half of these are direct quotes... in the OP, is the MJ one even a quote? or is it just a saying on a poster? Doesn't sound like him.. sounds too... deep, I guess.

Anyway, my favorite is "Cuz there ain't no fours" -- 'Toine.

There are tons of good ones, though.. but that's probably the one.

[Shepseskaf]

Well, we make a lot of money, but we spend a lot too.

- Patrick Ewing

[Samurai Swoosh]

"Its not the skill of the man, its the will of the man."

- Jake Shuttlesworth (He Got Game)

[Rekindled]

how the hell do I make my teammates better by practicing -AI

[ZaaaaaH]

Niqqa I got game - Melo

[The_Yearning]

"These young guys are playing checkers. I'm out there playing chess." - Kobe

when he said that.

You must've missed his HOF introduction closing line:

"Limits like fear are often an illusion" or whatever he said.

I didn't know quotes Nike cooked up for a commercial could be attributed to the player. Basically the case for 95% of MJ's "insipiring" quotes (lol at anyone who gets inspired by them btw).
