When Johnny was coaching with the Hornets in 1995 they had a good team. Glen Rice, Mourning, Johnson. Series was tied at 2 and Hornets had a chance to win game 5 in Chicago. On the biggest possession of the game, Mugsy had the ball with the Hornets down 1. Jordan backed off of him and told him: “shoot it you f—ing midget.” Mugsy shot it, didn’t come close. A year later Mugsy actually told Johnny Bach that he believes that single play ruined his career. His shot never recovered.

Is this true?

"If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize." - Muhammad Ali

"The one thing that always bothered me when I played in the NBA was I really got irritated when they put a white guy on me," Bird said. "I still don't understand why. A white guy would come out (and) I would always ask him: 'What, do you have a problem with your coach? Did your coach do this to you?' And he'd go, 'No,' and I'd say, 'Come on, you got a white guy coming out here to guard me; you got no chance.' ... For some reason, that always bothered me when I was playing against a white guy.

"As far as playing, I didn't care who guarded me -- red, yellow, black," Bird added. "I just didn't want a white guy guarding me. Because it's disrespect to my game."

That's some underrated white boy ether right there

Just so disrespectful. Bird stuck the blade in and turned it. Damn.

This can't be true. The bulls won 3-1

I always forget about Shaq just slandering Dampier for the fukk of it

“I’m playing like Eric Dampier.” (Referring to struggling with a thigh injury.)

“Dampier is soft. Quote it, underline it, tape it and send it to him.”

“Who? Erica Dampier?” (Responding to a question about Erick Dampier.)

“He could be dominant -- if he played in the WNBA.” (Referring to Erick Dampier.)

The GOAT

 

[patscorpio]

In 1980 or so, there was a big dinner honouring heavyweights of the past and present. Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier and Larry Holmes were all there. So were Renaldo Snipes and Tex Cobb. In his usual fashion, Tex Cobb got up to give a toast. He said, "I'm honoured to be in the same room as some of the baddest ******s ever." Renaldo Snipes stood up, and said, "I'm not going to stand here and let you call me a ******!" Cobb said, "Relax. I wasn't talking about you."

Ozzie Guillen on Alex Rios: "What have I seen from Rios? A lot of outs. The only batting ninth guy making $5 million was me. This mother [bleeper] is making $10, $12, $14 million, he ain't going to be batting ninth [in 2010]. I'm going to make sure he earns his money. But right now I have to put him there because he's struggling. Next year, if we have Rios batting ninth we're in deep [crap] once again.''
