"Half the NBA is Jordan, and the other half belongs to everyone else? Sorry, I said that before. It was true before he entered the league, but not anymore." Magic Johnson
"I only came here to see who would get second place. I didn't play, but I know there's someone just like me. Once he takes the court, everyone else can only fight for second." Larry Bird
"In the NBA, if any player starts taking wild shots on the court, I'll pull him out. If all five players on the court do it, then every single one of them can get off the floor, even Jordan. But if I had a chance to coach him, he could shoot whenever he wanted on my team. Forty times? Fifty? Sixty? No problem. I'm not talking about shots taken. I'm talking about shots missed." Phil Jackson
"Not that guy again! Give me the ball. I'm going home!"
