ALL STORIES

When it comes to basketball, the state of Indiana has no chill. They’re absolutely crazy about this sport. They’re crazy about this team.

Myles Turner

I was in New Orleans. Then I wasn’t anywhere. Then I called the Warriors. It was the best basketball decision I ever made.

DeMarcus Cousins

It’s been a rocky start since I got here two years ago, and I put that on me.

Chandler Parsons

The Mystics are a great team. We’re a great team. This is going to be a great, great WNBA Finals.

Sue Bird

I feel like I'm the Kevin Bacon of basketball. I played on some amazing NBA teams in my career, like it was a series of guest appearances.

Tamika Catchings

To put it really simple: If you don’t respect women’s basketball, you’re a joke.

Isaiah Thomas

Imagine it. I’m out there shooting bricks, yelling out Kobe, on a busted hoop in Cameroon. Seven years later, I was playing Kobe.

Joel Embiid

I hoped that Harvard would prepare me for the rest of my life. What it couldn't prepare me for was how a kid from Ferguson, Missouri would change me.

Christopher Egi

I want our girls to grow up knowing that there are no boundaries that can be placed on their futures, period.

Stephen Curry

I'm back home, Chicago. But I never really left. I’m just excited to be with y'all again.
