Feel free to add one of your own. In other words, vote for 'Other' and give us your quote. A. After a 40pt, 20reb, 10 block performance - "It was a great team effort." B. "The fans carried us tonight." C. "I'm all about winning." D. "It's not about the money." E. "We have to take it one game at a time." F. Other (Sorry, I pushed the 'Submit' button too fast, it was supposed to be a Poll.)
"There is no answer to the Pythagorean theorem. Well, there is an answer, but by the time you figure it out, I got 40 points, 10 rebounds, and then we're planning for the parade."
I can't help but love Shaq's quotes. You can tell he just says stuff just to be funny. I think they're better than Chucky's quotes because Chuckie actually tries to be serious where Shaq just doesn't give a damn. Live, I think Yao already has said "A" and "D"
I've actually developed an entire list of NBA clichés and their rough translations (what the player really means): "He's a role player" - he's not very good "He has character" - he sucks "He's a leader in the clubhouse" - he sucks and he's old "He wants to spend time with his family" - he sucks and he's retiring "He wants the ball" - it's a contract year "He loves to play the game" - he has a 5th grade education “He’s a shooter” - he thinks defense goes around de-house "He's in the dog house" - he slept with the coach's daughter "He's troubled" - two counts possession, one count wife battery "He's controversial" - he's killed a man "He likes to give something back" - he was sentenced to community service "He has a future in broadcasting" - he's full of @#%* "We would never trade him" - he's going to be traded, probably tonight "I'm just here to fit in and help the team" - they paid me $10 million to score, so get the @#%* out of my way "We'll be competitive" - we won't make the playoffs "We need to remain competitive" - build us a new arena or we'll leave "We showed a lot of heart out there" - we lost by thirty "We're rebuilding" - the team is @#%*ed "The team lacks chemistry" - they're a bunch of @#%holes "There were some problems with the officiating" - refs @#%*ed us "There's enough blame to go around" - coach is getting fired
Ming: "It was a team effort, though I know that doesn't make sense since it takes a lot of shots to score 40 points. Anyways. . ." Steve: "Yao! Yao! Damn Ming, get your ass up, we're here already, time to get your tall ass off the bus!" Ming: "Sorry Francis Steve, I mean Steve, I was dreaming." Steve: "Oh, the 40 pt, 20 reb, 10 blk game?" Ming: "Yes" Steve: "In yo dreams dawg, that'll never happen." Steve: "C'mon, let's go. Yo, Mad Dawg, let's go!" Kenny T: "Why are you calling me Mad Dawg?"
