“Nothing was ever easy in Memphis and I think that's why the fans were ...” — Mike Conley Jr. Quote

Nothing was ever easy in Memphis and I think that's why the fans were drawn to our team so much. It's because the way we played and the way we got overlooked and the respect that we didn't get most of the time was very similar to how the city felt and how the locals felt about life in general. It was an easy bond.

It's hard to be a team when you're battling yourselves.

There's guys that don't need to play with the ball. Tony Allen doesn't need to have the ball to be effective.

Every offseason when I'm back in Ohio, I get together with some of my former teammates and reminisce about our run in 2007.

Since I was a kid I've wanted to be in a Bond movie.

Everyone talks about how they knew the Bond films were going to be a success, but it simply isn't true.

Children love their mothers. Especially with a boy child and his mother, there's a bond that's unbreakable.

When you're a young boy, you're looking at older men for role modelling. Before I loved De Niro, I loved Clint Eastwood; I loved John Wayne. And James Bond.

Our civilisation has lost this bond between times, and tends to measure time with a yardstick, bit by bit, from one point to another.
