    Artest: "Alright guys this is it for us. If we don't get it done this season, chances are we'll never know what it feels like to be a champion. Everyone thinks we're a soft team, and we have proven them right so far. We gotta play harder and more aggresively. I'll go to war for yall and i know yall do the same for me. If I'm 1-13 and i go all out, atleast I can say i aint soft. Im from the hood. You want somethin, you go get it. We gotta have that hood mentality."

    Tmac: "Who called me soft? I aint soft? It aint my fault we're a soft team. Just look at what I've done on the basketball court. I raise my game up to another level in the playoffs. I play injured every night. It aint my fault people think we soft."

    Yao: "I trust my teammate. I need do a better job of not turning over. I a high turnover guy right now. I have to work harder and pway better. Right now I pway like kid who never been in swimming pool. I need to pway better. Wearing this jersey is an honor , and it would be shameful lose first round again. I will watch 4 hour of film tonight to study our upcoming oponent"

    Rafer: "You know, that's basketball, you know. I I I take the open shot when its there. You know, you miss some, you make, some, thats basketball. I never back down. You know, Kenny Smith shot below 40 percent too, you know. I I I know how to play point guard. No No No rookie will ever take my job. "

    Battier: "HAHAHA, you guys are so silly. we just need to pick up the defensive intensity guys. Hustle, play defense, and focus. We can do it guys. We just have to believe in ourselves."

    Brent Barry: "I will shoot the open three"

    I see where you are going.

    9/10 for effort.
    6/10 for execution.
    10/10 for racism.

    Pretty funny, probably pretty accurate, and not even remotely racist.

    Agreed. I honestly didn't laugh once. In fact, I want that minute of my life back.

    The only people that would laugh at this are either in high school or elementary or have a very low IQ.

    Or anyone who has ever heard these players speak before.

    The point of the thread was for people to respond with funny quotes of their own. Sorry if i offended anyone. Definantly not the intention.

    Too bad we haven't signed Mutombo yet. I'd like to see what he would've said in the team meeting...

    I understand the point of the thread and it is just not funny.

    You didn't offend me, but I bet there a whole bunch of Chinese people pissed off you're making fun of Yao trying to speak English.

    Well I hope those same people didn't get upset when Yao and all his teammates ripped Mutumbos speech. I don't see how its any different, yet people thought that it was funny as hell, and frankly it was.

    Keep making yourself think your not a racist if it helps you sleep better at night.
