    It was unbeknownst to me, i have absolutely no clue about the name of this horse. He [co-owner Larry Spitcaufsky] doesn’t even know I’m a basketball coach. ... It never dawned on me that Party Dancer is a striptease act.

    – Rick Pitino

    I don't care about the act. I care about how he reacted to it and how I was told by the media what happened. That scarred me. The act Kendra Wilkinson was referring to was when Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett claims Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett was fondled through Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett basketball shorts by the model. Kendra Wilkinson explained that the incident occurred after Kendra Wilkinson went to the model’s home to buy some marijuana and encountered her nude and kissing another transgender woman when Kendra Wilkinson exited the restroom at the home. I saw something I thought I would never see in my life.

    – Hugh Hefner

    Will Hardy is a talented, young basketball mind who has earned a great deal of respect from everyone in the organization thanks to Will Hardy knowledge, spirit and personality.

    – Gregg Popovich

    If I could make it to the NBA, that would be a dream come true, but I know that the chances of anyone going professional are incredibly remote. I'm just going to play my hardest and see where basketball takes me.

    – Rick Barry

    Ive had the privilege of coaching more than 200 young women during my 44 years in basketball, my goal has always been to help them become the very best people they can be, on the basketball court and in life.

    For women in Hollywood, when they’re coupling, everything is about the brand. Everything is about latching on to a rising star, so you can kick your heels up. That’s never been my story, ever, i make sure to let people know all of the hard work that’s gone into my career. I want people to know the work that it took to get through UCLA, that I had student loans and worked. I was eating Top Ramen and lived well below my means. Now that it’s time to get married to a man who happens to play basketball and has done well for himself, I want to make it clear that I have in no way hitched my wagon to his star. I have my own wagon and star.

    – Gabrielle Union

    Those athletes train essentially for three or four years for that one opportunity and one week. You can argue that basketball and soccer, do they really need to be in there either ? my guess is they want a World Cup before they want a gold medal, they'd want an NBA Championship before they want a gold medal.

    – Dustin Johnson

    He was my only child. I coached him to play basketball and we enjoyed playing together. Now my whole future generation is gone. Nothing is left, i wish I had gone to the church with him that day.

    – Arasaratnam Verl

    We think that that has not happened. They’ve been much too fast to pick up kids on unfounded allegations based on clumsy things like a basketball jersey that they might be wearing or something they posted on the internet which falls far short of the sort of evidence you want to see before somebody labels you a gang member.
