Basketball Quote by Lauri Markkanen
“We had a hoop in our backyard. My dad, my mother, my brother played, just playing around. I picked up a basketball and stayed with it. I had so much fun playing it. I literally started at four, five years old. It didn't have anything to do with my size at that point, just having fun with it.”
![“I failed, I think, seven [or] eight times before I finally got my first [championship]. It was just, you know, just about me growing up. Now that I'm an old, old veteran-age 29-I do things a lot differently. I don't go to the gentlemen's clubs anymore. I had to slow that down.” quote by Shaquille O'Neal](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/08f/shaquille-o-neal-659_age_i-failed-i-think-seven-or-eight-times-be_2731.jpg)
