After a physical play, a ref knew Charles Barkley was ticked and jumped on him. “Don’t say a word, Charles or I’ll run you”

Barkley said “Can I think it?” and the ref said he could think whatever he wanted.

Charles said “I think that’s the worst effn call I’ve ever seen”

"If winning the game is not important, why do they keep score." Lt. Worf
 
The 'execution' quote is one off my all-time favorites.

Yogi has a bunch. I also like Lasorda talking about Mike Sciosia who's wife was expecting. "If he had a race with his wife he would finish third."

And completely different in tone, and I was only 5 when it happened, "Do you believe in miracles?". I hear Al Michaels saying that and I still get chills.

When they asked Paul Pierce if he called bank?, he said " I called game."

I think his wife traveled with him to away games and when he was asked why, he responded that she was too ugly to kiss goodbye. Don’t know if that actually happened but imagine saying that about your wife…

My Favorite Knight quote:

The key is not the 'will to win'...everybody has that. It is the will to prepare to win that is important."

Coach Knight was all about preparation and held tight to the notion that practice is just as important as the game.
 
Yogi Berra, when he was playing in the shadows in left field at Yankee Stadium: "It gets dark early out there."
