“I knew once I pushed it up the court and saw [Friars' point guard Donnie] McGrath only looking at me that Ellis would be looking for a lob. He's the ultimate dunker -- he always gives you the heads-up -- so I just put it up by the rim and knew he would go get it.”
Chris Paul
“I pushed him as hard as I could. I saw them all bunch up in the middle and I knew I had to help get him over.”
Reggie Bush
“I'm looking at it as short-term as possible. I want to have a good camp and push myself to raise my game as best I can. Obviously, this is a new level, but the pressure has always been there. I've always put a lot of pressure on myself to perform.”
Sidney Crosby
“You've got to push yourself harder. You've got to start looking for pictures nobody else could take. You've got to take the tools you have and probe deeper.”
William Albert Allard
“We only knew a couple of ghosts were rampaging through Alabama. But we just pushed and pushed for a break, and we forced a break in the case.”
Jim Cavanaugh
“We tried to push the tempo a little bit more. T.J. did a great job pushing the ball up the court and I just tried to get open. It's big when someone else steps up (instead of Michael Redd).”
Charlie Bell
“We weren't going to push him, but I looked at him and he was back in there. You've got to love him. I wish we all had that attitude. He's just a tough kid.”
Don Dunn
