I'm not going to take too much credit for what's happened in my life. When we're playing, the things I do are because of my teammates. So I'm not going to take too much credit.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
I thought I was academically prepared for a major college, but I wasn't. Odessa gave me that preparation.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
I used to run the streets, my mom used to be crying all the time, coming to get me out of the police station all the time. Sports took me off the street.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
I play basketball because I like it, but the most important thing I want to do is help my family.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
What I do in the off season that hurts me is I take a month off and I do nothing.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
My personal goal was to get back to my true form, and my true form is an All-Star player.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
If I have to score baskets then I have to try to score baskets and stop missing shots, but even if it's not going, I need to be able to have another phase of the game and not let my offense take away from my defense or rebounds.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
Offense is one phase of the game. You have to be able to play the other phases of the game and help your team win.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
I definitely don't look at myself as a 3-point shooter, but when we're playing three big guys, I find myself on the perimeter a lot, and they leave me alone. I've got to knock it down or do something with it.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
What I hate more than sitting out is being on the floor and not being 100 percent. You know you can make this move, or guard this guy better, but something is hampering you from doing it, and in the NBA. finals I hate that more than sitting out.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
Once your back's up against the wall and you've been beat down, you start looking at trying to do the right thing.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
I was a bad person. I needed to change. I wasn't bringing anything into my life, but negative. I needed to bring some positive and to do that I've got to start within.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
I just don't want my offense to carry over to my defense. I want to help the team win and be a team player.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
But when a black player calls a white owner a slave master that's dangerous. It's one thing to say an owner is a good owner or a bad owner, but you have to be careful when you bring race into it.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
I think we sometimes think, 'it is just preseason. These games are for the fans mostly.' It's for ourselves to get in shape and play against more competition. Let's face it, this is preseason, but you can develop bad habits during preseason.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
Guys don't know it - it is New York. It's different from playing in other states. Playing here in New York is different. No way you get around it.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
If I'm hurting the team with my play, then maybe I have to sit out a game. If I think I can be effective knowing what I can and can't do, I'll keep going at it.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
If it's a nationally televised game in the past, and I've been scoring 6, 7 and 8 points, I feel like I had a bad game in my mind.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
In Vegas we thrived on being the hated team, on being the bad boys. That's definitely not my personality. If that helps my team, helps me play better, then so be it.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
You got to take everything negative and turn it into a positive. That's always worked for me.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
To become this N.B.A. player was fun; it just got to be work when I got here.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
After a basketball game, you're gonna be physically tired, but more mentally. Playoff time comes around, you have it all in your head.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
It's hard to get guys going and get team morale up when you're over there sitting in a coat and tie. But when you suit up and you go out there and battle with the guys, it's easier.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
When you first come to a team, no one wants to come down and take three or four shots in a row. You want to pass the ball around and get the feel of each other.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
Hey, I'm just another guy coming out of JC. That's the way I think of myself.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
JC was good for me. I had a coach who kept me into things and thinking positive. It was good basketball, but more than that it prepared me for the academic scene at a university.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
You can't ever get to the point where you don't think you can learn anything more.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
I don't know nothing about the restaurant business, but I've been around a barber shop all my life. That's where I used to get my dates in high school.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
In Dallas, I eat bean soup and bean pies every day. On Saturdays, I treat myself to a veggie pizza.
