The real secret to my success was I could shoot with either hand. Ironically, I became ambidextrous as a direct result of breaking my right hand.

You can't think about basketball or you ruin your game. It is an instinctive game.

I've heard the joke a million times that "Jews in Sports" must be the thinnest book in the world. Actually, I've seen a lot of great players working at the Maccabi Games.

The row of dolls watched her impassively from the bookshelf, their tea party propriety almost certainly offended.
