"He's made me a better player over four seasons. All summer, we played pick-up basketball and we'd match up against one another. When I penetrate to the basket, there are times when he stops me. His ability to guard big men and small guys definitely helps."
Quote by -Brandon Roy

Quote by -Brandon Roy
"It's fun playing Oregon. It's an up-tempo game. Hopefully, we'll make some shots."
Quote by -Brandon Roy
"There have been a lot of good teams on that 32-game home winning streak, and another one came in here and took it from us. It is the only way it should end, it shouldn't end with us losing by 15 or us losing to a bad team."
Quote by -Brandon Roy
"There's a lot of good teams on that 32-game home win streak. Another one came in here and took it from us. It's the only way it should end."

"It's awesome that top players from the state of Washington with a year difference in age are considered top players in the country. That says a lot for the state and how we've come along as basketball players. When I was a kid, I dreamed about this."
Quote by -Brandon Roy
"That was the first real adversity this team had to face and even I was interested to see how we'd react. We had bad chemistry [during the losing streak]. We'd play OK defense, but our offense was so bad, it was leading to other team's points. Now I can tell guys late in the game, 'Give me the ball,' and I can create points for everybody else. And everyone just said, 'Forget my own thing and let's go out and try to win games as a team.' Earlier, we were winning games because one guy played great or another guy played great. But now we are winning as a team."
Quote by -Brandon Roy
"I said, if we didn't prove to ourselves today that we can play with the best teams in the country, then you're just not a believer. I think we just showed the world we're a good team and we're here to stay."
Quote by -Brandon Roy
"It makes it a lot smoother. At the beginning of the game, it's more my time. Then when Jamaal comes in, I can kind of concentrate on other areas and it's more his time."
Quote by -Brandon Roy
"Coach knows that when the game gets tight, a light switch goes off in my head."
Quote by -Brandon Roy
"Coach said just push it up the court. Push it and pull it. That's what I did."
Quote by -Brandon Roy
"I say that and I wasn't exactly happy with it. There were a bunch of games where I thought I could have pitched better. It's just when I look back at say five or six games where I had ... a 4-0 lead and, boom, it was 4-3. I'm sitting there, now I've got a one-run lead. When I got a lead earlier in my career, I ran with that. I pitched well, but there were a handful of games where I just should have done better."
Quote by -Mark Mulder
"At first, I was looking for the ball, ... And then I realized how bad it hurt. It got a little tighter each inning. . . . But once the inning started, the adrenaline took over."
Quote by -Mark Mulder
"It was fun. You have so much energy when the game starts, it's hard to slow everything down and just keep it on an even keel. But once the game gets going, it's another game."
Quote by -Mark Mulder
"There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games."
Quote by -Ernest Hemingway
"Auto racing, bull fighting, and mountain climbing are the only real sports ... all others are games."
Quote by -Ernest Hemingway
"The game of golf would lose a great deal if croquet mallets and billiard cues were allowed on the putting green."
Quote by -Ernest Hemingway
If you are playing on a turning wicket, toss plays an important role. The team that wins the toss gets an opportunity to play on the fresh wicket. You should always prepare the wicket as per team's strength. But a rank turner might backfire.
Quote by -Kapil Dev
