In college you could say 'Coach, let's go to zone,' when you're tired.
Solo homers usually come with no one on base.
They're like, 'Oh, you did a...' and I'm like, 'I did a what?' No, I flipped twice. I twisted twice. They go, 'It's called a...' and I'm like, 'Why do I need to know that? I just need to go and do that.'
I'm not a big sports fan, but I love it when they 'slam dunk.' That's sexy.
Actually, I had no idea what shooting hoops was or were. I thought dunking was something you did with a beignet and a cup of steaming coffee. I wasn't exactly sure what a Knick was.
I had to Derrick Rose the knee up before I got the re-up
I've read that same formula, but as an athlete I'm classified as phenomenal. You could look it up.
I think most people don't even know what 'woo pig sooie' is if they're not a sports fan or they're not from Arkansas.
I don't want to be called a point guard, but I can't stop it.
March Madnesss...the only place where you hear 'Kansas is advancing.'
What is the definition of the 'between player'? I have never heard of it, and I have been around for quite a few years.
Nicknames are baseball, names like Zeke and Pie and Kiki and Home Run and Cracker and Dizzy and Dazzy.
I'm not that clued up on the American sports yet, really.
A lot of people think Major League’s called Wild Thing. As they should.
That's what everybody calls me, 'Cheat Code,' because they just throw the ball up to me.
That really makes you feel good when guys are using some of your terminology and some of your plays in a different country.
A 'wedgie' is exactly what you think it is. It's the ball getting stuck between the basket and the backboard.
In any other context, 'icing' is a great and exciting word: The proverbial icing on the cake, for instance, is a bonus - a wonderful thing on top of another wonderful thing. But in hockey, icing merely results in the referee's raising his right hand, as if swearing an oath to the deity of downtime.
I do go to football sometimes but I don't know the offside rule or free-kicks - or side kicks - or whatever they're called.
You can't be named like a sport if you suck at it.
I never use the word 'hero' in sports. Hero is way above 'star.' I save 'star' for sports. Sports is entertainment; that's all it is.
Garbage time is that time at the end of the game when the points don't really matter, and nothing you do can really affect the overall outcome, but the rookies usually get a chance to play on the big stage.
Everybody plays back-to-backs.
Say 'Dodgers' and people know you're talking about baseball. Say 'Braves' and they ask, 'What reservation?' Say 'Reds' and they think of communism. Say 'Padres' and they look around for a priest.
I consider myself more of a hybrid player than just a fullback.
