His reputation as a defensive player was very, very high. People would say, 'He can't shoot, but, man, can he play defense.

I don't suppose Bryant had anything like the physical punishment that Wilt took. Wilt's achievement was a feat of unbelievable endurance. He really had to work to get open, to get those guys off of him. Everybody in the league was tired of him scoring 50 points a game against them. They roughed him up in that game.

I believe if there was such a thing as a basketball supreme court, an objection to that question would be sustained because the comparison is impossible.

It's September, and we are talking in the heat of an election year. Our reputation is on the line and so is the administration's. We want to get it done without being political,

It is a maxim with me that no man was ever written out of reputation but by himself

I think the worst woman that ever existed would have made a man of very passable reputation - they are all better than us and their faults such as they are must originate with ourselves.
