100 Quotes by B. J. Armstrong

Winning is the easiest thing that I ever did in the NBA, but being able to come to the realization of what it means to compete in this league no matter what - win, lose or draw - was the most difficult thing.

For all that Michael Jordan could run, jump and entertain, he is best known for one thing: He won. If you want to be a great player in this league, you have to focus on one thing - the bottom line, which is winning.

Since I've been a part of this league, I can't recall when they've actually made rules that have actually helped to improve the game of basketball.

When I played, I would never, ever try to run Reggie Miller off the line because I knew Reggie. If I ran at him, and I was trying to run him off the line, I was going to get kicked.

In the back of my mind, I always knew I wanted to be in the sports representation business. Being an ex-player, I knew that those were the people I wanted to work with.

I wanted to learn how the business worked.

The Bulls gave me an excellent opportunity to answer all the questions that I wanted to ask.

Playing sports is a craft that has to be worked on and perfected just like anything else.

Understanding is the solution to every problem.
