Dumbest Basketball Quotes

"This team is one execution away from being a very good basketball team." – Doc Rivers.

[Reggie Miller]

Ironic, in that the head on the block will likely belong to Rivers.

The greatest invention since sliced bread is said b/c sliced bread machine was invented in 1928 ie a long time.

So even though it is odd, Francis was saying they have not played that bad in a long time.


Mr. Rohwedder was born in the great state of Iowa and is generally credited with inventing the first automatic bread slicer in 1928. Before this, people had to slice their own bread, or, in a pinch, rip off a hunk. According to Food Reference, Rohwedder's invention was initially poo-pooed by bakers who felt sliced bread would go stale too quickly. Eventually, Rohwedder constructed a slicer that also wrapped the bread, effectively solving the problem.

In 1930, Wonder Bread began selling pre-sliced bread. Other large bakeries quickly hopped on the bandwagon. The trend also helped to boost the popularity of another invention still in use today -- the toaster

You didn't just try to defend that statement by Francis.

Did you?

"i'll never forgot the day when me and Jordan scored a combined 65 points in a playoff game" Stephen King referring about a bulls playoff game when Jordan scored 63 points...

[SpursDynasty]

Here are dumbest things ever said by Spurs playoff opponents:

"Unlike last year, we're not just happy to be here in the Finals" - Byron Scott, speaking as if the New Jersey Nets actually had a chance in of defeating the 60-22 Spurs team in 2003 NBA Finals.

"Everyone thought that the Spurs would run through us and everyone is talking about the Spurs vs. the Suns in the conference finals. This team has a lot of heart and a lot of pride." - Marcus Camby after a 93-87 fluke Game 1 victory in the 2005 NBA Playoffs over the eventual champion Spurs. His Nuggets lost the next 4 in a row.

"We don't give 'em no respect..none!" - Jerome James after a cheap 91-90 Sonics victory in Game 3 of the 2005 Semifinals series vs. the Spurs. His team lost the series eventually.

"They took one from us last time, so now we took one from them" - Kevin Martin after his one-hit wonder game winning layup in 2006 first round vs. the Spurs gave the Kings a 94-93 win. So the defending champions who hold the #1 seed "took one" from a #8 seed by winning in overtime? Right.

""In our eyes we should be up three to one but we're not" - Mike Bibby after a Game 4 victory vs. the Spurs in the first round in 2006 tied the series 2-2. Why exactly were you supposed to be up 3-1? Your a #8 seed playing a defending champ. Kings lost the next 2 and were bounced out.

"We came out to get Game 1 but we also want to get Game 2" - Marcus Camby after a 95-89 Game 1 victory in the 2007 playoffs first round. Right Camby...you go on and go ahead and get Game 2!

[MrChug]

...and who could forget:

"We ain't got no respect for them...NONE!"

-Jerome James after a Sonics win in the 2005 Playoffs...a series they eventually lost in six games.

"Would you suck a for a million dollars?" he asked. A roomful of men all instantly looked at their shoes.

"No," came the cracked-voice reply.

"A billion?" Barkley challenged.

"No," said the reporter, stronger now.

"Well, how much then?"

"I wouldn't do it for anything!"

Barkley grinned widely. "Well, if you'd do it for free, come on over here then," he said, while nervous laughter filled the air around him. "Tell y'all what, I would. If I was poor, I'd suck a for a million dollars."

He paused and looked at his audience. "And all you mutha as would do the same, you just scared to admit it," he said. "Like, remember when that movie 'Indecent Proposal' came out? Oprah had on three couples who said they wouldn't let their husband or wife sleep with someone for a million dollars. Couldn't help but notice that they all had money already."

If I weren't earning $3 million a year to dunk a basketball, most people on the street would run in the other direction if they saw me coming.

My initial response was to sue her for defamation of character, but then I realized that I had no character.

I thought they were funny. Lots of great quotes in this thread that aren't dumb.

"i'll never forgot the day when me and Jordan scored a combined 65 points in a playoff game" Stephen King referring about a bulls playoff game when Jordan scored 63 points...

First of all, this is another clever quote incorrectly classified in this thread. Second, nobody named Stephen King ever played for the Bulls in 1986. I've heard a quote like that, but I don't think it was for that game.

[Obstructed_View]

Found it. Actual quote:

Hot Rod Hundley: "My biggest thrill came the night Elgin Baylor and I combined for 73 points at Madison Square Garden. Elgin had 71 of them."

[MrChug]

Yup...but Stacey King played for the Bulls. How do you know it wasn't him?

[Roxsfan]

You didn't just try to defend that statement by Francis.

Did you?

I tried to explain what is thought process was, so shutty.

i've read that long time ago but I always remeber it was him..

Because I didn't try to piece together every player that had ever been in a game with Jordan when he scored a lot of points. I don't have that much free time.

King wasn't on the Bulls in '86 when Jordan scored 63, which combined with an incorrect name, makes the quote inaccurate. Now that someone has given me a correct name, a quick search finds that Stacey did play in the regular season game in 1990 where Jordan scored 69 and he scored 1. It's been reported that he said that he and Jordan combined for 70, so it did happen.

Hundley's quote happened, too, but 30 years earlier.

It's apparently as flawed as your own.

"The popular use of the phrase derives from the fact that Wonder Bread, the first mass-marketer of sliced bread as a product, launched a 1930s ad campaign touting the innovation"----Morris, Evan, "Ever Wonder Where the First Sliced Bread and Other Famous Foods got Their Names?" Reader's Digest, January 2006, 155.

It has nothing to do with time. It is used to praise good ideas. If the quote from Francis is accurate, then he mangled the expression.

That comment was an indication of how many times Jordan has scored a lot of points, but congrats for getting your panties in a twist due to not being smart enough to understand the humor.

...and a to reciprocate a sarcastic kudos to you for understanding of what humor is, or rather lack thereof.

I agree with you on the "praise good inventions," but 1930 WAS a long time ago and so when it is used today--it can have a time-factor involved.

BTW, I do realize how stupid our conversation is and I accept full responsibility.
