Scorer Quotes

I was playing the best football of my career at the time, finishing top scorer in Italy three year's running. There were other good players around but I think I was the best at that time. (Michel Patini)

It doesn't matter who scores the points, it's who can get the ball to the scorer.

Larry Bird

I was an all-around player - if I was just a scorer, there's no way the Hawks would have won 50 games four years in a row.

Dominique Wilkins

For when the One Great Scorer comes To write against your name, He marks-not that you won or lost- But how you played the game.

Grantland Rice

When I was a little kid I used to play with guys twice my age, so, I was the last one picked, so if I picked I knew that I had to get the ball to the scorer if I wanted to stay on the court, so that was pretty much my job.

Jason Kidd

You obviously never saw Wilt Chamberlain play who undoubtedly was the greatest scorer this game has ever known. When did MJ ever average 50.4 points per game plus 25.7 rebounds? (Wilt in the 1962 season when blocked shot statistics were not kept). We will never accurately know how many shots Wilt blocked. Oh, by the way in 1967 and 68, Wilt was a league leader in assists. Did MJ ever score 100 points in a game? How many times did MJ score more than 60 points in a game? MJ led the league in scoring in consecutive seasons for 10 years but he did this in an NBA that eventually expanded into 30 teams vs. when Wilt played and there were only 8 teams.

Wilt Chamberlain

I'm the leading scorer in the cup, and that's lovely, but don't forget this is also a great moment for the whole squad, when the two things coincide you can't ask for more.

Alessandro Del Piero

I came in the league as not a shooter, not a scorer. My game was to play defense and make my teammates better. The most important stat to me was that left column - winning. Nothing else matters.

Jason Kidd

I never really looked at myself as a scorer, but if the shot is there, I'm certainly going to take it.

Reggie Lewis
