The NBA has many inspiring quotes. The following are my personal favorites.
"Basketball is a fierce sport. Sometimes words can inspire teammates and yourself and improve morale. There are many familiar quotes, the most famous of which is never underestimate the heart of a championship. "This sentence was said by Tomjanovich, the head coach of the Rockets in 1995. As the defending champion that year, the regular season went very poorly. Through a trade, Drexler, Olajuwon's teammate at the University of Houston, was acquired from the Trail Blazers in the hope of making a difference, but he only finished sixth. position and entered the playoffs. Just when everyone thought that the Rockets would have no hope of defending the title, the Rockets unexpectedly made it through all the way and swept the then-popular team led by O'Neal and Penny Hardaway 4-0 in the finals. The Magic finally defended their title. When he lifted the championship trophy after the game, the head coach said these words, which has become an eternal classic moment in the NBA! ! As long as you don't give up and persist until the last second, miracles will happen.
"The meaning of No. 24 is 24 hours. I hope to devote all my energy to basketball. This is why I chose No. 24. If I cannot devote myself wholeheartedly, I am not Kobe. "24 is my best interpretation." This sentence was said by Kobe when he changed his jersey from No. 8 to No. 24. Kobe, who wore No. 8, was the most proud and uncompromising fighter in the league. Kobe, who wore No. 24, was more mature and stable. Focus more on teamwork. In addition, there is a deeper meaning, which is to hope to surpass Jordan. After all, Jordan is the goal that Kobe wants to surpass throughout his life.
"No one has seen what Los Angeles looks like at four o'clock in the morning. I have seen it." After a training, a reporter asked Kobe the secret of his success. Kobe said this famous saying. Kobe's success is not accidental. Yes, he achieved such a great achievement by relying on his hard training. This sentence is similar to "Have you ever seen Harvard's library at 4 o'clock in the morning?" Kobe is a training madman, and this sentence is the best explanation.
"Second place can only mean that you are the number one loser." This is what Kobe said after the 2008 Lakers lost 2-4 to the Celtics. Kobe because of the failure in 2008 , trained harder, and won the championship and FMVP for two consecutive years in 2009-10. This sentence is also Kobe's most famous and inspiring saying, never admit defeat and always strive for first place.
"The future of this league is yours" comes from Tim Duncan. In the 2007 Finals, after the Spurs swept the Cavaliers 4-0, Duncan said this to James in the locker room. At that time, James led the Cavaliers to the Finals with his own strength. However, facing the sophisticated Spurs, he was restricted in all aspects and was beaten by the Spurs. Sweep, Duncan's words to James are more of encouragement. In 2013-14, the Spurs and the Heat led by James met in the finals for two consecutive years. The two teams each won once. James finally ushered in his own era.
On April 21, 1986, the Bulls vs. Celtics G2 in the first round of the playoffs. This game is one of the most classic games in the history of the NBA playoffs. In his second year, Jordan led the Bulls to challenge the Celtics, who were at their peak. Although the Bulls lost to the Celtics 131:135 in double overtime, Jordan made 21 of 42 shots and scored a playoff history-high 63 points. After the game, Larry Bird said this famous saying, "Tonight, it's God wearing the No. 23 jersey playing basketball." This is also the most appropriate description and praise of the great God Jordan.
