Buckeye Kingdom owes a debt to Evan Turner even before he daggered Michigan from halfcourt in the 2010 Big Ten tournament. (A shot you can watch complete with Michigan audio, if you feel so inclined.)
Turner has since salvaged a professional career that started acrimoniously with the Philadelphia 76ers, the team that made him the No. 2 overall pick in the 2010 NBA draft, and the Indiana Pacers.
Turner is averaging 10 points, 5 rebounds, and 4.5 assists a game in his second year with the Boston Celtics under former Thad Matta disciple Brad Stevens.
One consistent thing about Turner's professional career has been his constant stream of quotes about Evan Turner. He is either a raging egomaniac or we are witnessing one of the greatest performance trolls of our lifetime. There is no in between.
r/NBA has a running master list of Evan Turner quotes, but these are our favorite Evan Turner quotes about Evan Turner, ranked.
As always, this list is 100% objective and not up for debate. It's important to remember, however, none of quotes embody the Evan Turner experience like his Ferrari running out of gas on the 315/670 interchange.
