A Quote by Maurice Greene

In America, we have three major sports - baseball, football and basketball. They get the most coverage. Then there's things like golf which mop up most of what is left. But track and field? We are way at the bottom of the totem pole.

I tried golf for a while, but I wasn't very good at it, so I didn't play a lot of golf. I enjoy all sports, not just football. I like basketball, baseball, and I got into the World Cup. So really, sports in general are my life, and football specifically.

John Madden

I love sports. I've played basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, track and field growing up.

Michael B. Jordan

I also tell them that your education can take you way farther than a football, baseball, track, or basketball will - that's just the bottom line.

Bo Jackson

I played three sports in high school, baseball, football and basketball. Baseball really helped me a lot.

Calvin Pryor

I think we have our sports within our own culture that are huge with baseball, football, basketball, and hockey. Those are the sports in America that we grow up with and soccer isn't really there yet.

Claudio Reyna

I played all sports coming up in Texas. I played basketball, football, baseball, ran track. All through high school I did all of that.

DeAndre Jordan

I had a basketball net that my dad had put up outside. I went out there and dribbled all day long. I wanted to play basketball. Then I'd go baseball, and then I'd go to football. I remember playing football in a plowed field. I grew up going from one thing to the next wanting to play something.

Joe Gibbs

I played basketball, baseball, and football. I never had much downtime. But I think playing multiple sports helped tremendously in my baseball career. I have the agility of all three combined into one.

Giancarlo Stanton

We [Americans] are a football-baseball-basketball-golf culture with some ocassional forays into tennis and less often the winter sports.

Michael Wilbon

I had a basketball net that my dad had put up outside. I went out there and dribbled all day long. I wanted to play basketball. Then Id go baseball, and then Id go to football. I remember playing football in a plowed field. I grew up going from one thing to the next wanting to play something.

Joe Gibbs

Growing up, I didn't like basketball. I played football and baseball and ran some track.

Robert Parish

I like football, baseball, basketball, golf, racing.

Kevin Harvick

The beautiful thing about the game of golf is you can play good golf and compete well into your later years, and you can't do this in basketball or football or baseball. But in golf, it's a longer live sport.

Tom Watson

Trip Hawkins - and this was the early 1980s - was saying there's going to be a day when everyone has a computer and they're going to want to do more on it, including playing games. So he started up a company, EA Sports, and he was going to have three games, football, basketball and baseball. So I was the football game.

John Madden

I played all sports when I was young. I was into wrestling, basketball, baseball, football, and I ran track. But wrestling was my main sport because there was no criterion height-wise.
