 The Rivalry: Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, and the Golden Age of Basketball
  John Taylor

 I never got a chance to see (Wilt Chamberlain or Bill Russell), but from the (television) footage I've seen and what I've seen now, I think Shaq is probably the best of all time.

 Looking back on it now, I don't see how we had the desire and the determination to keep going back because we kept getting knocked down, knocked down, knocked down,'' said Tony Glover, who joined the team late in 1983 and stayed until 1996.

 Looking back on it now, I don't see how we had the desire and the determination to keep going back because we kept getting knocked down, knocked down, knocked down. Larry wasn't a quitter and all the guys on the team weren't quitters. We all wanted to put our mark somewhere.

 I said on the bus that I wasn't going to give up any easy lay-ups in the paint and that somebody was going to have to dunk on me. That's the first time I've ever been dunked on and I'll admit it, I got dunked on.

 I remember how small it was, ... It was bigger than our locker room, but maybe only twice the size. It wasn't massive by any stretch of the imagination, but you have to understand that if you see the Wilt Chamberlain jersey, if you see Adolph Rupp, if you see the Texas Western team - the picture of them - that was all kind of awe-inspiring.

 After we gave up that goal the kids were a little down, ... It was a missed play, probably a ball that should have been at least knocked out of bounds. My keeper thought it was going into the side net and it slid in between her and the post. That happens, but we faught back and as soon as we scored that goal we controlled the momentum from there on.

 It was at spring training in Arizona and it was my third season and the Warriors were doing really lousy. I walked into the A's press box, and Bill walked up to me and introduced himself, and said he empathized with me. He remembered when the Warriors traded Wilt Chamberlain to Philadelphia in the 1960s, and he said to stay positive.

 ID can be hijacked, and cards can be faked. All of the 9/11 terrorists had fake IDs, yet they still got on the planes. If the British national ID card can't be faked, it will be the first on the planet.

 And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strong holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, and rip up their women with child.
