About all our good high school players are going out of state. ...That's something that probably hurts more than anything. It's very important to try to keep our kids in-state. That's how you have an identity. (Larry Bird)
I am very happy for DJ. As a former teammate and friend, Dennis is a good person and I am sure he will do a great job. (Larry Bird)
We would like to get a deal done. We're looking at every option. Teams continue to call us every day, but we're going to do what's right for the franchise and not just do a deal to do one. We want somebody who is going to fit in with this team. (Larry Bird)

I think he'll make an immediate impact because of the skills that he has. (Larry Bird)
I don't know if this is the right wording, but I felt betrayed. We're disappointed. Things happen, maybe it's a good thing. He's a very talented player. I always liked working with him and how he went about things on the basketball court. He's a top-12 player in the league, but we're in a situation where we have to move on. (Larry Bird)
I really don't like talking about money. All I can say is that the Good Lord must have wanted me to have it. (Larry Bird)
The one thing that always bothered me when I played in the NBA was I really got irritated when they put a white guy on me. (Larry Bird)
I don't know if I practiced more than anybody, but I sure practiced enough. I still wonder if somebody - somewhere - was practicing more than me. (Larry Bird)
My best friend missed three one-and-ones. I still get mad at him for that. (Larry Bird)
