Michael Jordan is God disguised as a basketball player.

If you tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as you're able to, you'd better go out there and do it.

The one thing that always bothered me when I played in the NBA was I really got irritated when they put a white guy on me.

In the closing seconds of every game, I want the ball in my hands for the last shot - not in anybody else's, not in anybody else's in the world.

My coach told me, "Larry, no matter how much you work at it, there's always someone out there who's working just a little harder - if you take 150 practice shots, he's taking 200." And that drove me.

There are many times when you are better off practicing than playing; but most people just don't understand that

My opinion about basketball, the way I was taught, was when you step on the court, you play to win.
