  • It took me a while to realize that basketball wasn`t football.
    (brainyquote.com)
  • The basketball coach cut me within two days, so I was back in the pool. I was the first one in the wall after the first 25 yards, but the last one out because I didn`t have a flip turn.

  • I was always the last one chosen for football games in Central Park.
    (brainyquote.com)
