Evan Turner.

[TA9]

One that comes to mind is Turner's quote after the game against Philly in 2015. He compared himself to Jordan if I'm not wrong

Found it:

Reflecting on the sequence, Turner noted, "When I was dribbling, I was like, 'Oh, snap, I’m at 15 feet, I’m about to end this.' And then I thought about [Michael Jordan] passing to Steve Kerr. And I thought, 'Well, let me add that to my legacy. I’ll pass one time.' And that was it. It was unbelievable, actually. Ingenious by me."

From Masslive:

Don't pass to Evan Turner if he's covered late in the shot clock

The always entertaining Evan Turner provided yet another colorful description when asked about a long, end-of-the-shot-clock jumper near the beginning of the fourth quarter. The play started with Kelly Olynyk catching an inbounds pass in the left corner. Though the shot clock was already dwindling down, the big man opted to swing the ball to Turner on the left wing.

The spacing on the set was all sorts of messed up. Turner had just about run square into Avery Bradley a moment earlier, and was standing right at the 3-point arc, from where he is shooting a nauseating 14.8 percent, with a defender all over him.

"Kelly had it and I'm like, 'He better not pass to me,'" Turner said later. "It was just like an unwritten rule of the NBA. So I'm like, 'He better not pass to me.' And then the ball is coming toward me and I'm like, 'This dude is one big a--hole.' Like the whole time I'm looking at him like, 'How are you gonna pass me this ball?' I'm like, 'What are you doing bro?'

"And then I shot the jimmy. I forgot about when the shot clock goes down or the buzzer starts ticking it's almost always automatic. So that reminded me of that. And that was it. I was nervous but I thought about it and I said, 'Nah, man.'"

The shot went in.

This was posted earlier in the year, but it immediately came to mind when I saw the thread title. I laughed out loud at this one, probably mostly because it was KO who is already a little goofy looking.

Yeah that's my favourite Turner quote. IMO he's worth keeping on the books next year just for his quotes

No question Turner is a keeper.

"Oh my gosh, you gotta be kidding me."

The horror and despair in the Cleveland announcer's voice is like verbal manna from heaven.

That was amazing. I LOVED that. They bashed us all game and were acting like a Jefferson layup was the freakin dunk of the century. I'm so glad we beat them.
