A Quote by LeBron James

Well, of course you question it, especially when you get to this point. I always look at it would I rather not make the playoffs or lose in The Finals? I don't know. I don't know. I've missed the playoffs twice. I lost in The Finals four times. I'm almost starting to be like I'd rather not even make the playoffs than to lose in The Finals. It would hurt a lot easier if I just didn't make the playoffs and I didn't have a shot at it.

It's cool to make the playoffs. It's not cool to lose in the first round anymore. The goal is to make the Finals.

Kyle Lowry

I know winning 20 is a special kind of thing, but I'd rather get into the playoffs, and be strong for the playoffs.

Tim Hudson

The Process is never going to end. It's an ongoing thing. I don't think it's ever going to stop. As I have explained before, it's a process for making it to the playoffs, it's another one to make the conference finals, another one to actually go to The Finals and win the championship.

Joel Embiid

I don't just want to make the playoffs or get to the first or second round. When I compete or make it to the playoffs, I expect to win every time.

Rajon Rondo

I went to Golden State and helped them get to the playoffs my first year there, and they haven't been to the playoffs in 13 years. I played in Charlotte... and I got them to the playoffs. So, every team I go to, I make them better.

Stephen Jackson

When games get tight in the playoffs, especially in the Finals, there's no space. There's no clean looks.

C. J. McCollum

I'm going to make the playoffs. You can believe that. To never play in the playoffs, that will not be my legacy.

LaDainian Tomlinson

Especially when it comes to the Finals and playoffs, your team needs you mentally and physically.

Zaza Pachulia

It would be easier if I didn't even make the playoffs, it would hurt less. But then I start thinking about how much fun it is.

LeBron James

I would like to be in the playoffs. I would hope that there is some opportunity to go and play in the playoffs. Those are the best games, the most fun for sure, and you have a chance to win.

Jarome Iginla

It's the playoffs, man. If you don't get excited about the playoffs, you don't even deserve to be playing basketball.

Robert Horry

There's been so many stories throughout the league where teams have started off poorly and ended up in the Finals. Or teams starting out great and not making the playoffs.

Sue Bird

The playoffs are unpredictable. You never know what can happen and how these playoffs go.

Bam Adebayo

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.

James Harden

The season is a beast within itself. It's not the quickest race; it's a marathon. In the playoffs - if you're fortunate enough to make the playoffs - that's more like a dash. You have to concentrate on one opponent. When they're done, you have to concentrate on another one.
