QUOTES BY Eric Bledsoe


In big cities, things go by too fast.

You can have all the talent in the world, but if you don't bring it every night then nothing matters.

Before I joined the Clippers I played basketball at the University of Kentucky. There the game of basketball is very important. It is important for the fans. There is not a lot to do there so they really support the team. It is hard to describe. The fans, the coaching staff, the basketball program is everything and the kids who go there love it.

I think the best time to learn things is when you're hurt. Just sitting back and observing to see how you can be effective in certain parts of the games is important.

The point guard is the most important position on the court. They often have to be the best player, not by choice but because that's what the game demands as far as all the thinking you have to do and picking and choosing when to score or pass, things like that.

Once you see the leader of the team, the point guard of the team who has the ball pretty much the whole time in the game directing everybody, I think it just rubs off on everybody.

I am nervous all the way through the national anthem and the first play. Once I get up and down the court a few times, it fades.

The Suns keep great point guards here.

I can say all of the goals I want individually, but if we make the playoffs those individual accolades will come.
