A Quote by Chris Bosh

I had friends around campus and great teammates. I didn't want to leave. I didn't expect to be regarded and scouted as such a high pick, so it was a crazy twist to reality. I'd always wanted to make the NBA. It was my dream. Then all of a sudden, people were telling me I'd be the fourth pick if I entered the draft.

In pick-and-roll situations, I feel like the NBA is all pick-and-rolls, so I want to be able to handle the ball in pick-and-rolls and make the right read, make the right passes, and make plays for my teammates.

Kevin Knox

I always wanted to be in the NBA, but I never really thought about being the No. 1 pick until high school. So once it happened, it's like a dream come true and more.

Andrew Wiggins

I have one quote I very often read to myself, from a very good friend: 'Forget the people around you now; remember the little boy who was racing in go-karts, what you were dreaming of and what he wanted to achieve one day and what was his goal. Race for him.'. I fell in love with the sport, I love racing. The amount of satisfaction I get just going around in a Formula 1 car makes me smile. So if it is a bad day then you tend to come out and say it's horrible and you don't enjoy. But if you had to pick between that and doing nothing, you would always pick that.

Sebastian Vettel

Genealogy of ideas. You don’t get to pick your family, but you can pick your teachers and you can pick your friends and you can pick the music you listen to and you can pick the books you read and you can pick the movies you see.

Austin Kleon

I think it would be great to be a cat! You come and go as you please. People always feed and pet you. They don't expect much of you. You can play with them, and when you've had enough, you go away. You can pick and choose who you want to be around. You can't ask for more than that.

Patricia McPherson

If you had first pick in the all-free agent NBA draft, you'd take LeBron James.

Daryl Morey

When I became director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, it was stodgy, gray, run by elitists. I said, 'Hey, let's kick the thing around.' I wanted to attract young people to the museum. I said, 'Make it hospitable. I want them to come. I want them to make dates, pick up girls, pick up boys - either way; I don't care.'

Thomas Hoving

In high school, I told my trainer Keith I wanted to be the No. 1 player in the country and the No. 1 draft pick.

Markelle Fultz

I don't want to be that guy that thinks he is a high draft pick and that he has it all.

Saquon Barkley

I probably had the most fun ever in the ring with Christian. And it was because he could just pick stuff up out of thin air and make it something. Neither of us were these big high-fliers; none of us were power guys doing these big, crazy moves. But the finesse and the things were smooth with me and him.

Randy Orton

If I follow the media and everyone that tries to set expectations for me because I'm a high draft pick, if I follow that, I will never become a great player.

Saquon Barkley

I had great relationships with all the four coaches I played under at Real Madrid. They all helped me improve, but if I had to pick the best, I would pick Ancelotti.

Luka Modric

My family, and just the people around me in my life - you know, my friends - they take care of me, and whenever I'm too high, they bring me right down, and when I'm too low, they pick me up.

Christian Pulisic

At the end of the day, we always show that truth triumphs. We don't leave the movie in the middle saying, 'Great, pick whatever you want to and go out there and do something wrong'. Bollywood is not the only influence in a person's life. They are also affected by their family and friends.

Juhi Chawla

Timbaland was crazy to work with. When he stepped in the studio, it was like working with Morpheus from 'The Matrix' - he stepped in with three beats and said, 'Pick one.' They all sounded crazy, but I could only pick one. I picked one and he hooked me up.
