"But a basketball shot, that's even more serious. Not pure joy, there is more intent, a conscious collapsing of hoop, ball, and distance, all mediated by feeling. The feeling of the ball rotating off the fingertips like a lingering touch, the uncorking spring in legs and feet that fuel the ball's rainbow arc, the satisfying sound of the ball cutting through the net. Sensual beauty disguised as competition." --Waking, by Matthew Sanford
"I framed it as a form of basketball anthropology, a study of how children were raised within the sport." --Play Their Hearts Out, by George Dohrmann

"NBA fans are not necessarily basketball fans; they are consumers of entertainment." --speaker of Real Talk
"America loves a race war, especially when it is hidden under the shroud of a basketball game." --Young, Black, Rich, and Famous, by Todd Boyd
