The Boston Celtics are not a basketball team, they are a way of life.

I have two college degrees, four honorary doctorate degrees, and am in three Halls of fame, and the only thing I know how to do is teach tall people how to put a ball in the hole.

Many, many times, the kids with the less talent become the better athletes because they're more dedicated to achieving their full potential.

Everything can happen in the playoffs.

If they think we've got an edge, we've got an edge.

Take pride in what you do. The kind of pride I'm talking about is not the arrogant puffed-up kind; it's just the whole idea of caring - fiercely caring

You can't win without the ball.
