I just have to keep working, just stay on top of my game, stay on top of my weight and stay prayed up.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
After I signed my big contract, I expected to be in Charlotte for the rest of my career. Things just didn't work out. Now I'm with the Knicks.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
When you think about the Knicks, you associate Patrick Ewing with the Knicks, you associate Walt Frazier with the Knicks. If I do all the right things and perform up to my capabilities, I hope you associate Larry Johnson with the Knicks someday, too.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
My back is terrible, man. I mean, you're always going to have some pain, but nothing that will stop me from doing what I want to do.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
I've turned down several assistant jobs in the NBA that I just didn't feel good about. I would love it at UNLV.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
I just play the game. Stats aren't a big issue with me. I've been around six or seven years, and I've had stats in this league. I've had individual accomplishments. To me, it's overrated.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
We never played ball for money. We played because it was fun and I was good at it. But a lot of guys get paid big money to play this game, and I have a family I want to help out. But basketball will always be a game to me.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
You can be totally focused on the game and all of a sudden at the Garden, you'll snap and go, 'Whoa!' It's super loud and you can't help but take a second to admire what's going on.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
There's a roller coaster effect when you're playing good. Everything seems to go your way. But once you start playing bad, you're playing bad.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
If I put on any pressure. I put it on myself. Nobody else puts pressure on Larry Johnson.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
I hope people understand that Jerry Tarkanian gave young black males a chance to better themselves and the lives of their families when no one else would. The way Coach talked to me, he spoke my language. I needed that type of voice in my life.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
You'll hear guys talk all the time about coaches being a father figure. Well I'm 45 years old and I've never met my father. I consider Jerry Tarkanian my father.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
My plan is to go back to Dallas and build my house. I want a spread 50, 60 or 70 acres. 'Cause Dallas is where everybody's at' that I can really relate to.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
Since this basketball thing has started, some way or another I've become the most handsomest man in the world, because everybody's like, 'Oh!' I think, 'What's happened to me?'
Quote by -Larry Johnson
When I was in Vegas, people asked, 'Did you ever regret not going to SMU?' What? I'm in Vegas. I'm on TV every Saturday. I'm winning titles. Did I regret it? That's a silly question.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
As far as me going out to a movie or going out to eat, and people coming up, that's fine. I love that. I'd rather have it than not have it.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
What I want to do for Mom - I want her to be able to understand that she can do anything she wants. I want her to be able to say, 'I've never been to so-and-so,' and go. She deserves that.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
This is a beautiful country, the best country, but it's not holy, it's not righteous.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
It's important to get some balanced scoring on the floor. For me, I've got to make shots.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
Yeah, we've made beautiful strides, but what percentage of black people has made that stride when I go back to my neighborhood and see the same thing? I'm the only one who came out of my neighborhood. All of them dead, on drugs, selling drugs. Am I supposed to be honored and happy just by my success?
Quote by -Larry Johnson
When it comes to the younger generation, anything on the floor I'll criticize - not playing hard, not doing this, fighting, not giving your all. Off the floor, you guys are on your own.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
I'm always on the players' side, of course. The owners are going to take their fill, but I'm always on the players' side.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
When people talk to me, they want to know about Grandmama, they want to know about UNLV, and how was it playing with Muggsy. You don't have to be a basketball fan to be a Muggsy fan. The shortest guy to ever play in the league, I get that question all the time.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
I can remember my jersey being the No. 1 seller for like two years, and I think it was the color of the jersey.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
I think I'm caught up in playing in New York. Here, my mind is cluttered worrying about things.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
Most of the power forwards in the NBA are 6'10', 6'11', making it difficult for a player at 6'7', 6'8' to the play the position.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
I have always wanted to spend my entire career in the Charlotte community and concentrate on bringing the city a championship.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
I've been in the frame of mind in Charlotte that, O.K., I'm going to play defense. But I've never been in a frame of mind that my defense is going to generate my offense.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
Girl-wise, I never got the girl. Because of my mother and our economy, I never had clothes. And I never - like I said - dated. I didn't date at all. I was never a guy who had girlfriends.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
I remember in Charlotte, they looked to me every day. I'm 30 now. And now it's, 'Let's just win.' Maybe when I was 26 there would have been ego. Now, I just appreciate the recognition for the defense.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
The UNLV championship game against Duke, I didn't shoot the last shot. Choked. It took 10 years for me to say that. I had to be in the NBA five, six years for me to say that aloud.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
I want to play 11, 12 years right here and then retire - and win us some national championships, and be the Michael Jordan of Charlotte. This is the place that drafted me, that paid me. This is the place I should be loyal to.
Quote by -Larry Johnson
If I'm on fire, don't spit on me. I won't spit on you. That's respect. You go your way, and I'll go mine.
