Zitate und Sprüche von Pat Riley

Look for your choices, pick the best one, then go with it.

Each Warrior wants to leave the mark of his will, his signature, on important acts he touches. This is not the voice of ego but of the human spirit, rising up and declaring that it has something to contribute to the solution of the hardest problems, no matter how vexing!

Discipline is not a nasty word.

Being ready isn't enough; you have to be prepared for a promotion or any other significant change.

If you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges.

There's no debate. Pau, when he retires, he will have his number in the rafters next to mine.

Jerry West really helped a lot, and so did players like Magic Johnson. That's why, at the end of my career, I wanted to finish my career with the Lakers.

I have season tickets to the Lakers and the Clippers.

Now LA has a God and a King!
Zlatan welcomes @KingJames

Sacramento, I won't stay. But I'll be sure to come back when the Lakers beat the Kings in May.

It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy.

Walk until the darkness is a memory, and you become the sun on the next traveler's horizon.

There's a lot of players who, especially today, do all of these fancy ball handling drills and work on using a million different moves, none of which they'll be able to actually do in a game. It was refreshing to watch Sabrina play, who just thought the game at a different level.

I stand with those who are calling out the ingrained racism and violence toward people of color in our country. We have had enough.

We went from a shitty team to one of the all-time best dynasties. All you needed was one little match to start that whole fire.

Walked into a restaurant yesterday and guy comes up and says: "Aren't you Rik Smits?"
Not quite but I appreciated his hoops knowledge…

German friends that come visit always buy jerseys. I say, "hold on let me get a sharpie", and they say, "oh no. That's ok. This is actually Luka's. Do you mind getting it signed?"

You guys are better people than players - that means a lot!

I love the Philippines. But they need better beer!

It's a great run, we'd had a wonderful time. Good Team. Time to go.

There are certain sports figures who become a larger cultural force. Michael Jordan and the Bulls changed the culture.

You're only concerned if you know you don't have it. We have it.

We cancelling sporting events, school, office work, etc etc. What we really need to cancel is 2020! Damn it's been a rough 3 months. God bless and stay safe.

I learned a lot I wouldn't have learned roaming the streets of Dallas.

I felt like calling attention to AIDS. I had the AIDS ribbon colored into my hair during the playoffs in '95.

My kids are older now. They're kinda upset with me. They're not really upset, but they don't understand. I tell them all the time: "We" ain't rich. "I'm" rich.

I'm not worried about facing the Sacramento Queens. Write it down. Take a picture. I'm not going to talk about this all year. When I get back, there's going to be trouble.

I want to become one of the best players, so if you want to be one the best, you have to elevate all aspects of your game.

If you are going to do something, you have to do it for yourself, and that's what I try to do. I try to be authentic and try to be original, so that's what I try to be. A lot of people try to build big brands but have received bad advice, and they don't try to be authentic and real with themselves.

I learn from my mistakes. I did something stupid, and I'm just looking forward to the future.

I'm truly blessed. Everything has just been like a dream come true. This just tops it off - I'm playing at the highest level of basketball and it's in my hometown. I really can't believe it right now.

Sky is the limit for her and what she can do on the court, in terms of her impact in the game but also the court as well... It's been fun to watch her journey.

Basketball isn't just a sport. It is an art, one that must be mastered to succeed.

I think it's just God disguised as Michael Jordan.
