IF THERE IS NO BASKETBALL IN HEAVEN, I AM NOT GOING.
Not sure if the title of the thread is correct (NBA Dumbest Quotes) since some of these are sarcastic remarks (Shaq) or jokes (Walker, Sir Charles, Sheed), while some others are in fact NBAers saying dumb stuff (Kidd, Spree, Artest, J-Dub).
Shaq Everybody always talks about winning. Phil took us to the Finals four out of five years. We won three years out of five. To my math, that’s 60% of the time.
REPORTER: Let’s just say that a snake bit your mom right here, right in the chest area. Would you be willing to suck the venom out to win the title?
SHAQ: No, but I would with your wife.
“Every time that I’ve won a championship I’ve looked at my guys around me and looked at their work ethic and said ‘You know what, I’m going to win it this year. I feel that way now.”
These are my new shoes. They’re good shoes. They won’t make you as rich as me, they won’t make you rebound like me, and they definitely won’t make you as handsome as me. They’ll only make you have shoes like me. That’s it. -Charles Barkley 2003 Commercial
"Some things you just can't question. Like you can't question why two plus two is four. So don't question it, don't try to look it up. I don't know who made it, all I know is it was put in my head that two plus two is four. So certain things happen. Why does it rain? Why am I so sexy? I don't know." - Shaquille O'Neal
"My sister's expecting a baby, and I don't know if I'm going to be an uncle or an aunt." - Chuck Nevitt, North Carolina State basketball player, explaining to Coach Jim Valvano why he appeared nervous at practice
# "We can't win at home. We can't win on the road. As general manager, I just can't figure out where else to play." - Pat Williams, Orlando Magic general manager, on his team's 7-27 record in 1992

Wow, it's not about being "strict and serious" but the word "dumb" entitles that the quotes were all made out of ignorance - which they don't seem to be.
Also, not sure what language you are talking about, but in English, dumb basically means two things: stupid or mute. But - then again -maybe I'm just being "strict and serious."![]()
I agree, Putting Shaq and Charles in here is the DUMB thing to do, these guys are just comedians and deserves a site of their own for that matter-I'm sure Charles has a few...
For instance, quotes like "I can shoot with my right hand, I can shoot with my left hand-I'm Amphibious" by Charles Shackleford-THAT'S DUMB!
