There is absolutely no way the best team in the NCAA could even dream of beating the worst team in the NBA? You're talking about men vs. boys.
Actually when I was overseas I didn't watch any NBA. I was like, 'Forget the NBA,' and this and that. 'Cause I was hurt that I wasn't on an NBA team. I kind of was rebellious when it came to that because I was kind of jealous and envious that I wasn't on an NBA team, so I kind of just focused on my game and focused on overseas.
I think at the end of the day, regardless of who you're playing against, there's talent on every single team in the NBA.
First Team All-Defense, that was great, that was one of my goals coming into this league, and I've got that a couple times. But First Team All-NBA, that's bigger than a lot of things; that's bigger than being an All-Star.
I actually got my start playing indoor soccer with the boys, a bunch of boys I played with. We eventually became a club team and then essentially got to the point where I couldn't be a girl on the boys' team, so I switched over to JB Marine.
I had never dreamed about the NBA like some guys did. I was a non-scholarship player at an NAIA college. I played on the Boys and Girls Club team in my freshman and sophomore years of high school before I made the high school team. I was our backup center in college.
My dream was to be in the NBA. I wasn't really focused on being a star player on a team. I just wanted to make it to the NBA. I've been blessed for the opportunities to be in the Finals, been in the playoffs ever since I've been in the NBA.
The NBA believes if you play for a team and get paid by a team, you're the property of that team for 24 hours a day.
The ideal set up would be to own an NBA team, a D-League team, and a WNBA team.
I defend and track my runners but, if there's another big asset you need as a midfielder, it's to score goals. I scored goals in the reserves and the youth team but since I've got into the first team I've lost that a little bit.
Hey, the Clippers are a good NBA basketball school. Helps out all the young guys who come into the league. It's not a fast team, not like a real NBA team. All the players have to worry about is improving on their own. You are there for your first few years. They teach you a little bit about the game, and then they let you go.
I love the NBA playoffs. It's just a great mental test for each team.
When it's really close, usually one team pulls together, and the other team comes apart.
You're either on the Republican team or the Democratic team, and all that matters is that your team wins. Judging by history, regardless of which team wins, the people always lose.
A skilled Transition Team leader will set the general goals for a Transition, and then confer on the other team leaders working with him the power to implement those goals.
I'm pretty sure every team in the NBA would love to have Paul Pierce on their team.
When a team tells you we’re going to let you get your option regardless if you get it or not, that’s a message to you as to what you need to do in order to make this team or to be on this team next year.
