Guarding LeBron James has to be the hardest job in basketball.
Overall, I think Michael Jordan is the greatest athlete in any particular sport. He dominated the game for the Chicago Bulls and brought the NBA to its greatest peak of popularity.
If Tim Duncan had Knicks on his jersey, he'd be a god.
I want to be just like Steph when I grow up.
He was a terrific guy. It is a great loss to the sports world. Wilt Chamberlain had a special place in basketball history and he will be missed. We had many battles with Wilt. He was a fun guy to be around; he was a 'Gentle Giant.'
Dirk is like the German Moses, invincible and inspiring. That is why 'His Name Is Dirk' must be the Official Fan Song for Dirk Nowitzki.
I don't want to be Kobe, I want to be LeBron.
And I have been very blessed, having coached some of the greatest that have ever played the game. But if I had to start a team today, the greatest player and the one guy I would take would be Larry Bird.
There's Michael [Jordan], then there's the rest of us.
The best player I've ever played against is Kobe Bryant. I have seen him do some stuff that is just unbelievable.
LeBron is making a case for himself to be one of the greatest players to ever play.
My sons love LeBron more than they love me. I'm just a little jealous about it.
Man, meeting Michael Jordan for me was like.. black Jesus walking towards me. It was overwhelming to me to finally meet the guy I've looked up to my whole life.
Whenever I see Michael Jordan I'm still blown away because he was such a hero of mine growing up.
I play against a front and a back every night, Ming does not have to do that, Duncan does not have to do that, Garnett doesn't do that. I am the only one that has to do that.
Well, (Michael) Jordan was definitely one of the kings of the game. There's no question that he was one of the more dominant figures. If you look at the top ten players of all time, he was certainly one of the most dominant guys.
Yao Ming is the best thing to happen to the NBA in a long time. He is just a beautiful person inside and out. The vision, the creativity, the gentleness of spirit … he has it all.
A LeBron James team is never desperate.
Whatever you paid to see Michael Jordan it wasn't enough. You knew that every night out there you were gonna get the greatest concert of your life.
When I come back like Jordan, wearing the 4-5. It ain't to play games with you, it's to aim at you, probably maim you. If I owe you I'm blowin' you to smithereens.
I'm the best player in the NBA.
I've always respected [Michael Jordan] but I've never been a fan of his [Jordan's].Because everybody else is.
I'm just somebody that isn't that impressed by [Michael Jordan]. There really isn't anybody in the world I'm impressed with.
Shaq is not the man. He's the man because the NBA wants him to be the man, but before you can be the man, you've got to be the man.
I'm LeBron, baby. I can play on this level. I got some game.
