When covering the man with the ball, the defense should be able to touch the ball with his hand. He should assume this touching position as the ball is being received. When the ball is received, the defense should discourage the pass into the post area. The hands should be kept up. Keeping the hands up reduces a tendency to foul and allows a player to move his hands quickly.

Ralph Miller

The key to guarding Kevin Durant is to play really good team defense. One on one, it's just tough. So you try to get all five guys to play against him.

Danilo Gallinari

Four turnovers. Two assists. I told him he'd have the game ball if he had taken care of the ball a little bit better.

Bo Ryan

The kind of man who thinks that helping with the dishes is beneath him will also think that helping with the baby is beneath him, and then he certainly is not going to be a very successful father.

Eleanor Roosevelt

When I played for the 49ers, we loved to see man-to-man defense. I could get the ball quickly to the receivers.

Steve Young

The man who keeps busy helping the man below him won't have time to envy the man above him.

Henrietta Mears

For a man, the soul of a woman is a preserving talisman, guarding him from moral infections; it is a power holding him to the straight path, a guide leading him back from the crooked to the straight. On the other hand, the soul of a woman can be his evil and ruin him forever.

Nikolai Gogol

There is not a man of us who does not at times need a helping hand to be stretched out to him, and then shame upon him who will not stretch out the helping hand to his brother.

Theodore Roosevelt

In college, I prided myself on defense and guarding the best player every night.

Malcolm Brogdon

Helping others is perhaps the greatest joy! You cannot have a perfect day without helping others with no thought of getting something in return.

John Wooden

The petty man is eager to make boasts, yet desires that others should believe in him. He enthusiastically engages in deception, yet wants others to have affection for him. He conducts himself like an animal, yet wants others to think well of him.

Xun Kuang

The sick man is taken away by the institution that takes charge not of the individual, but of his illness, an isolated object transformed or eliminated by technicians devoted to the defense of health the way others are attached to the defense of law and order or tidiness.

Michel De Certeau

Goal of mine is to make first team All-Defense. The way you do that is guarding the best players.

Tristan Thompson

There are four types of men in this world: 1. The man who knows, and knows that he knows; he is wise, so consult him. 2. The man who knows, but doesn't know that he knows; help him not forget what he knows. 3. The man who knows not, and knows that he knows not; teach him. 4. Finally, there is the man who knows not but pretends that he knows; he is a fool, so avoid him.

Solomon Ibn Gabirol

We have four parts of our game: working against the ball; in possession; losing the ball; winning the ball. If you are good in all four parts, you have a good chance of winning.

Ralph Hasenhuttl

People ask when I was younger in the league who my favourite player was to play against and it was Steve Nash. It wasn't necessarily that I was guarding him or he was guarding me it was more so getting to see up close and personal how he plays and how he approached the game. That was very exciting for me.
