“It is impossible to win a contest with a helpless opponent since if you win you have won nothing.”

“It is impossible to win the race unless you venture to run, impossible to win the victory unless you dare to battle.”

“In this world, not everything will be won by justice. If you want to win, you have to learn how to cheat. (Nana)”

“I wonder since when, I started yawning as I left my home for a match. I wonder since when I stopped feeling anything even when we won. The person who can win against me is me alone. But all I wanted was an opponent that I could go all out against. I've always wished for a tight game in which you couldn't tell if you'd win or lose...I am grateful to you Tetsu." ~ Daiki Aomine”

“The fact is, the contest has always been invulnerability, and even when you win, you still lose.”

“We improve ourselves by victory over our self. There must be contests, and you must win.”
