2- Mike Tyson:

Mike has his own wing in the sports quotes Hall of Fame here are my personal favorites:

“I might just fade to Bolivian”

"[He] called me a 'rapist' and a 'recluse'. I'm not a recluse."

"I am many things. I am an animal. I am a convicted rapist, a hell-raiser, a loving father, and
a semi-good husband. You don't really know me."

"I can sell out Madison Square Garden masturbating."

"If I take this camera and put it in your face for 20 years, I don't know what you might be.
You might be a homosexual if I put that camera on you since you were 13 years old. I've
been on that camera since I was 13 years old."

"Lennox Lewis, I'm coming for you man. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable,
and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah!"

"I want to rip out his heart and feed it to him [Lennox Lewis]. I want to kill people. I want to rip
their stomachs out and eat their children."

"I paid a worker at New York's zoo to re-open it just for me and Robin. When we got to the
gorilla cage there was 1 big silverback gorilla there just bullying all the other gorillas. They
were so powerful but their eyes were like an innocent infant. I offered the attendant $10,000
to open the cage and let smash that silverback's snotbox! He declined."

"My power is discombobulating devastating I could feel his muscle tissues collapse under
my force. It's ludicrous these mortals even attempt to enter my realm."

“I want to throw down your kid and stomp on his testicles, and then you will know what it is
like to experience waking up everyday as me. And only then will you feel my pain.”

[To a female reporter] "It's no doubt I am going to win this fight and I feel confident about
winning this fight. I normally don't do interviews with women unless I fornicate with them. So
you shouldn't talk anymore... Unless you want to, you know."

"The one thing I know, everyone respects the true person and everyone's not true with
themselves. All of these people who are heroes, these guys who have been lily white and
clean all their lives, if they went through what I went through, they would commit suicide.
They don't have the heart that I have. I've lived places they can't defecate in."
"I'm not Mother Teresa. But I'm also not Charles Manson!"
"Fear is your best friend or your worst enemy. It's like fire. If you can control it, it can cook
for you; it can heat your house. If you can't control it, it will burn everything around you and
destroy you. If you can control your fear, it makes you more alert, like a deer coming across
the lawn."

"I'm just like you. I enjoy the forbidden fruits in life, too. I think it's un-American not to go out
with a woman, not to be with a beautiful woman, not to get my dick sucked ... It's just what I
said before, everybody in this country is a big f**king liar. [The media] tells people ... that
this person did this and this person did that and then we find out that were just human and
we find out that Michael Jordan cheats on his wife just like everybody else and that we all
cheat on our f**king wife in one way or another either emotionally, physically or sexually or
one way."

"There's no one perfect. We're always gonna do that. Jimmy Swaggart is lascivious, Mike
Tyson is lascivious -- but we're not criminally, at least I'm not, criminally lascivious. You know
what I mean. I may like to fornicate more than other people -- it's just who I am. I sacrifice so
much of my life, can I at least get laid? I mean, I been robbed of my most of my money, can I
at least get [oral sex] without the people wanting to harass me and wanting to throw me in
jail?"

"At times, I come across as crude or crass, that irritates you when I come across like a
Neanderthal or a babbling idiot at times. But I like to be that person. I like to show you all
that person because that's who you come to see."
"I'm the most irresponsible person in the world. The reason I'm like that is because, at 21,
you all gave me $50 or $100 million, and I didn't know what to do. I'm from the ghetto. I don't
know how to act. One day I'm in a dope house robbing somebody. The next thing I know,
'You're the heavyweight champion of the world.' ... Who am I? What am I? I don't even know
who I am. I'm just a dumb child. I'm being abused. I'm being robbed by lawyers. I think I have
more money than I do. I'm just a dumb pugnacious fool. I'm just a fool who thinks I'm
someone. And you tell me I should be responsible?"
I have no idea why no one has done a reality show on Mike yet. That would be the highest
rated show ever.

1-Allen Iverson on practice:

“We are talking about practice…. Practice….not the game…not the game I will die
for…We talking about practice…Practice…What are we talking about???? Practice…

Simply put the best sound bite ever.
