When I was playing, it was me playing both ends of the floor, playing offense, playing defense and I GAVE the BALL up with assists. It wasn't LIKE me doing one thing, scoring 25 and having three assists and one steal.

When you PLAY defense what happens is everybody PAYS attention and they start talking about how you're the stopper, you can stop this guy. All of a SUDDEN your game gets better on the offensive end and you become that versatile guard that everybody wants.

The secretary of DEFENSE makes recommendations, sometimes will make strong recommendations to the PRESIDENT of the United States. But the president, whoever it is at that time, decides, makes the CALL on WHETHER or not to take that RECOMMENDATION.

The JOB of the OFFENSE is not to score POINTS. The job of the defense is not to stop the other TEAM from scoring points.

I think with DEFENSE especially, you have your CORE PRINCIPLES. If you do those consistently, then it's EASY to make, sort of, game-to-game adjustments. But, when you're not doing your core principles consistently, you end up just guessing a lot. To be honest with you, that's what bad TEAMS do.

The level of difficulty in most areas of MMA is very high. It's a high learning CURVE. The footwork in boxing alone takes YEARS to MASTER. I will rely heavily on my amateur WRESTLING to get out of bad situations and take me from defense to offense. I'll try to DICTATE the fight on my terms.

A SENSE of HUMOR is a major DEFENSE against MINOR troubles.

Just as we need a productive WARRIOR FORCE to carry out our NATIONAL defense MISSION, our national workforce MUST be equally able to carry out our economic mission.

We all know how powerful the web can be for RAISING political money. Well, if you're game, the DUKE Cunningham Legal DEFENSE Fund is apparently ready to accept your DONATION.

Whatever the DEFENSE gives US, we're going to take it.

I'm BUSY WORKING on EVERY aspect of my game - defense, SHOOTING, rebounding - but I really WANT to become a better overall team player. Help my teammates become better players out on the court in order to win more ball games.

You WANT to KEEP the DEFENSE guessing.

You better not kick a FIELD GOAL if you have a LOUSY DEFENSE.

It helps me get rebounds, I can see over the DEFENSE PRETTY EASILY, and yeah, I thank GOD he blessed me with height.

A NATION that continues YEAR after year to SPEND more money on military defense than on PROGRAMS of social uplift is approaching spiritual DOOM.
