We practice throughout the week throwing jump balls, throwing fades, throwing all these little things. But when the game comes, you never know what's going to come up.
I started out real young as a tight end, but I was never getting the football. I knew when I played basketball, I loved to have control of the ball. When I played baseball, I was a pitcher. I always wanted to be the guy throwing the passes and making a difference, I guess.
I used to tell Jackie (Robinson) sometimes when they were throwing at him, 'Jackie, they aren't throwing at you because you are black. They are throwing at you because they don't like you.

I am a team player - and that is what you need to be an effective point guard. You gotta see the court, you gotta set up the play, and you gotta let others execute for the most part.

When I was a wrestler, my job was mostly looking mean and throwing punches and kicks.
It was like two drunks in a back alley throwing punches at each other.
I really focus on making sure that we pass good policy. I don't mind throwing my elbows around to get it done.
You know, it's a different deal - throwing a football as opposed to throwing a baseball.
Throwing blondes at Locke Lamora was not unlike throwing lettuce at sharks.
I lost six months of work due to throwing open punches and took a punch on the chin.
We have no healthcare and we have all the guns in the world, it makes you think twice before you start throwing punches in a bar.
Throwing a knuckleball for a strike is like throwing a butterfly with hiccups across the street into your neighbor's mailbox.
