It's tough at first. You realize in the NBA, it's not easy. Each and every night, you're playing against that player that was the best high school player, that player that was the best player on his college team.

Devin Booker

Even before I made my high school team, I'd say I want to be a NBA player, and people laughed at me with, 'Get out of here, you ain't going to be a NBA player. You don't even play basketball.'

Gerald Green

NBA has a selfish rationale. It saves the owners money by delaying the time a player gets to a second, more lucrative contract. Even the player's union is on board. There are only 450 jobs in the NBA, and the one-and-done protects veterans' jobs.

Sonny Vaccaro

My sporting hero was Drazen Petrovic, the NBA basketball player, who was killed in a car accident in 1993. He was a good friend, an unbelievable player, and I dedicated my Wimbledon win to him.

Goran Ivanisevic

To be a great player or a good player in the NBA, I have to work on my perimeter game.

Amar'e Stoudemire

Most of the power forwards in the NBA are 6'10', 6'11', making it difficult for a player at 6'7', 6'8' to the play the position.

Larry Johnson

As an NBA player you want to help your team win at any cost, that's my main goal.

Pascal Siakam

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

You can ask all the best players in the NBA - there's not one player in the NBA that guards them like me.

Avery Bradley

I know I can play in the NBA, and I can be a very good player in the NBA.

Jimmer Fredette

I'm the NBA's best NFL player, and I've always been the sexiest 7-footer in the NBA - for 12 years running.

Shaquille O'Neal

I'm the only player in NBA history to be 10 for 10 in a game with at least four threes made.

Jared Dudley

Growing up, people will tell you that you have a better chance to become an astronaut than becoming an NBA player. So when you finally get to the NBA, you've beat the odds. So when you put on that jersey, everything else is downhill.

Clyde Drexler

If we win trophies, it is the most important thing. Of course, it's good for a player to win individual awards and I will never say I don't want to be the best player in the league or I don't want to be the PFA Player of the Season.
