Movie quotes

  • (..) No, thank you. l've seen you play. Not impressed. Excuse me? l'm the highest scoring forward in the league! But all that talent? Totally overshadowed by nothing but scandals and pure laziness. Come on! You're shooting under % from the free throw line, okay? Your turnover ratio, abysmal. (..)
