"Have you ever had any surgery?"
"Yes."
"So have I."

I think the Oregon Duck tried to hug him and he said "I'm a tree hugger. I'm not a duck hugger."

"Throw the ball up the court. Throw the ball up the court. Throw the ball up the court."

"The only thing more meaningless than the score at halftime is the final score of an exhibition game. This is the conference of champions."
