Quotable Quotes:
"When I was seven years old and saw Marques Haynes, I knew that was what I was going to do," Mr. Rivers later told the New York Daily News. "I took my ball with me everywhere, dribbled it every place."
"They took me into a dark closet for my tryout to see how I could handle the ball with obstacles in my way. I made the team that night as a dribbler that does fancy tricks to go along with their comedy routines."
The Lord blessed me in a special way, and with his blessing I can touch other people and make them smile, bring a little joy into their life if they're a little sad."
