Katie Nolan Quotes

The only important statistic is the final score.

That's what everybody calls me, 'Cheat Code,' because they just throw the ball up to me.

For me, the game starts with starting pitching.

I think center is a critical position.

If I pass the ball to Karl Malone, he still has to make the shot, or nothing has happened.

In eighth grade, I pretty much didn't want to pass. I was 6'8'.' I was always bigger and stronger. I was getting triple-teamed, and the results weren't good. I wasn't helping my team. I was forcing shots. Then I started passing it out to my team, and they started hitting shots and slashing, and that's when things opened up for me.

I think, generally speaking as a player, when I hear the word 'scout,' it's usually, 'The Seattle Storm are playing the L.A. Sparks tomorrow; the assistant coaches are scouting the L.A. Sparks.' And then they come to us and give a scouting report on the players and the team.

It doesn't matter what the game is or against who, it is good to play at home.

I want my players to go win and don't play bad football.

The players have got to make the plays.

I don't think the Lakers could control Tony Parker's ability to get into the paint, so his health is the key for San Antonio.

I can throw all the good passes I want, but if they don't make shots, it's not an assist.

We need everybody to contribute as one and do what we've got to do to win. Football is not an individual game. In basketball, LeBron James can take over a game by himself.

I can pass and I can shoot and I can do some other things also.

You want to win hockey games, and it doesn't really matter how you do it.

The way I've always approached it is if we're winning and people want to talk about me, it's fine. If we're losing, then you really get on me, and I'll definitely try to be better to help us win. But I'm fine with it, as long as we're winning and we're playing good basketball.

Knowing where a team will usually place a penalty can be the difference between winning or losing.
