Funny NBA Quotes

Posted by Phil Partington Nov 13, 2009

Here are a couple paraphrased quotes that made me chuckle this morning. I thought I'd share.

First, at the beginning of the season, Gilbert Arenas, Washington Wizards, claimed that he just wanted to fit in this season and that he would look to distribute more, rather than be the typical ball hog that he is. Funny how "distribute more" resembles being a ball hog. He's averaging 5.9 assists per game and an abysmal 4.8 turnovers per game. That includes a career high 12 turnovers against the Miami Heat on November 10, 2009.

Second, Jamal Crawford said that the New York Knicks would have made the playoffs last season had he and Zach Randolph not been traded. I love Crawford--have been watching him since his high school days at Rainier Beach--but this is obtuse thinking. Crawford's missed the playoffs all through his career, because he's played on bad teams. He's gotten an unfair rap for that, but Zach Randolph is one of the most overrated players in the NBA and the Knicks just didn't have the talent to be a playoff team last season. Who is he fooling?
