Sam has demonstrated a toughness and tenacity at the college level in the CBA, as well as in Europe, ... He will add to the intensity of our training camp and practice sessions.

I can see his tenacity and his yearning to go back this year.

Tenacity. We're great guys in the clubhouse, but when the game starts we turn into a bunch of angry individuals.

The thing that impresses me the most about Leon is his tenacity and his toughness to the ball. When a shot goes up, whether it's offense or defense, he's going to be around it, he's going to rebound it.

Now that I've met him? You know, you take away his skills and the way he plays, his tenacity and all that and his leadership, he's a very good guy. I feel bad that I hated him so much the last few years.

Tenacity is a certain quality of the human hand in its relation to the coin of the realm. It attains its highest development in the hand of authority and is considered a serviceable equipment for a career in politics.
