There's a hustling, but also a self-centred vibe you can get from people in Delhi.
I grew up in an environment where being polite was taken as a weakness. So I just fought everybody.
I'd like to see a more aggressive attitude on the part of the United States. That doesn't mean launching an immediate preventive war.
I'm a high-risk taker on the court in the sense of trying to squeeze things in there.
When I'm out there, I play with a chip on my shoulder regardless of the situation.
I'm an aggressive player. I always have been.
I hate to lose, and I do whatever I can to win, and if it is ugly, it is ugly.
What people see on court is another side of me; it's not me.
People say I'm cold, that I'm impersonal on the court. Well, let me tell you, it's blood and guts out there.
I do play with a chip on my shoulder. That's who I am. That's how Philadelphia basketball players are raised.
When I'm at my best, I'm ready to hit from pitch one. When I go up there and I'm passive, I'm not as successful.
I've just always played with a big chip on my shoulder, and that keeps fueling me.
I'm from New York. You walk by, you bump somebody and they give you a look. There's always an attitude.
I'm slamming n***as like Shaquille, s**t is real When it's time to eat a meal, I rob and steal
When I get the ball, I have to be ready to be in scoring mode.
Notoriously outspoken, his sentences always punctuated with profanities, General George S. Patton was the epitome of what a leader should be like - or so he thought. Patton believed a leader should look and act tough, so he cultivated his image and his personality to match his philosophy.
When I'm asked to be aggressive and shoot the ball, I gotta take advantage of that.
Michael, to me, he was an assassin. He was one of those guys that prepared himself extremely well and was relentless in his attacking. And there are a few guys who have that mentality. I think Kobe Bryant has that type of mentality, and LeBron has that type of mentality.
I always want to find something to get you to play with a chip on your shoulder.
I have a street mind. My whole mindset when I first got to the NBA was, 'I'm bringing that street to the game,' and, 'I'm going to be the hardest guy on the court; I'm going to be the hardest guy on the planet.'
I'm the kind of a player who, if you give me something good to hit, I'm going to swing at it. Otherwise, there's nothing else you can do.
Playing defense hard gets me going offensively.
I just think I've got to be more aggressive at both ends of the floor. When I'm aggressive on the defensive end it really helps me on offense.
The academic mind, as we know, is sometimes capable of assuming an aggressive attitude. The official mind, on the contrary, is and has to be, expert in the art of self- defense.
I'm not a nice guy on the field, and I've never really respected a guy who's been a 'nice guy' on the field. I want opposition to be hard, to play to win the game for their team.
