619 Quotes by Larry Brown

We played pretty darn good after All-Star break. We were about .500 and we set up a culture that enabled us to be pretty good from then on. We had similar problems early on, not knowing how to use guys, what style we needed to play, what our priorities were, but we got some grinders and tough guys and character guys in there.

I always felt if you get a big guy and a point guard, you got it made. And they were pretty special together.... Kevin, knowing him, he has no ego, he just loves to play and wants to win. I don't think he ever looks at himself as 'the man.' I think that was a perfect match. Looking back on it, it's kind of sad.

I admire and respect him, but I have that feeling for anybody that sits down at that end. But you realize what he's done and that's pretty special.

Trevor, ... you haven't made a jump shot yet. Drive the ball!

He'd be in a lot more trouble when he got at home if he didn't do what he did.

You know, he's got the ball all the time. I ran probably as much stuff for him tonight as I have at any time. It's just one of those nights. Maybe he didn't feel like he had it. But we got three assists and no steals.

He keeps telling me he wants to come back. If the doctors give him the OK, we'll do it, but we'll just go day to day. It would be great to have him back, but if not, I'll get to play Steve more and Jamal more and Nate.

We needed him to guard and he went back in and guarded. Like I said, when he puts his mind to it, he's an exceptional defender.

He just gets better and better, and you won't find a finer kid. He should be a poster child for our league.
