“I just told myself we're not going to lose. I just concentrated and did the things I always do as I walk up to the line. I didn't feel nervous at all.”
Mustafa Shakur
“Never do business with friends, family, or church folks, lest you live to regret it.”
Rebekah Cyphers
“We needed to take it to them in the third quarter and not lose our concentration. I wasn't going to let them let it go. Either we respond and take control of the game or (the Nuggets) were going to do it. I just didn't want to let it slip away.”
Rick Adelman
“That's not unusual for a player to lose concentration if certain phases of the game go wrong for him. He put some pressure on himself to score. All players want to score as a part of their game. . . . I don't know where his confidence is. You either have it or you don't have it. It doesn't reside in your jockstrap or your brain. His confidence should be in his defense. That's where he plays and rebounds and hustles for us.”
Phil Jackson
“By concentrating on precision, one arrives at technique, but by concentrating on technique one does not arrive at precision.”
Bruno Walter
“I just try to concentrate on concentrating.”
Martina Navratilova
“You know you're not going to have all the bases covered, but you have to concentrate on the strengths you have. I've had some good players every year I've been here, big-play kids that allow you to be a little more creative offensively and on special teams. But people tend to find an answer for us defensively, especially power-oriented teams that find where we've tried to stash our weaknesses.”
