You can't tap somebody in the helmet and say, 'Go be physical.' If you're not physical, you can't play physical, and that's a big part of what we believe in.
I just love football. I've always enjoyed doing it - being outside with my mates, getting really muddy and dirty and smelly. It's something I always loved.
I feel like I'm one of the most physical players in the league - I love contact. I love attacking. I love going to the free throw line.
The way I approach things is that I'm a physical player.
I'm always a player who has taken fairly rough treatment, to be honest. I think my time in Scotland typified that because I think there was one game where I set a record for being fouled ten or 11 times in a game.
When we do, when we're playing physical and we're playing tight, playing with emotion, we play well.
I do all the dirty work: play defense, grab rebounds, block shots and finish strong around the rim.
Tackling is my favorite part of the game.
I'm a big-guy guy. I look at guys like Shaq, Ben Wallace, guys who play inside and play tough. I don't pay much attention to the little guys; I like the big guys who do the dirty work.
When you watch the old NBA, one thing is for sure, you will see more fights, a little more talking, bigger guys, bigger bodies.
Baseball is fathers and sons. Football is brothers beating each other up in the backyard.
I'm an old-fashioned player, an old-school player who will foul you and foul you hard.
I always wanted to play in Europe for a long time. They move the ball, and they move bodies, and that's what I like doing.
I don't like to play rough, but I will if I have to.
In England and Germany, perhaps, there is more of a focus on the physical side of the game, in breaking down the opposition's play, especially against the lower placed sides.
In playoff football, you've got to be physical. You've got to run the ball.
I loved playing in the Big Ten, where it's three yards and a cloud of dust.
They better not put me in the All -Star Game. I won't shoot, but I'll dominate that easy game. I'll be playing hard defense. I'll be foulin'. I'll be flagrant fouling. Everyone will be like, 'What are you doing?'
I'm kind of a dirty guy, a little Bill Laimbeer-ish. Those are the guys I used to watch growing up. I used to watch Karl Malone; now I watch Boozer and Elton Brand and try to emulate those guys as much as possible because those guys are about the same size as me.
I became an adult before I had a kid, which I highly recommend. I just like to throw her around. She's a really good snuggler, and she likes to give kisses and hugs.
There are different types of cornerbacks: you've got your longer guys that will try to get physical with you and use their length, and you've got your quick guys that will try to use their quickness, and then you've got your 'tweener' guys that will try to use both.
In the NBA they've taken away so much of the hand-checking and the physicality of how guys are able to guard you. So if you touch me, I'm gonna throw the ball toward the rim and get shots.
I never want to hurt a player but being physical is different. Body to body.
The only pictures you saw of me when I was playing, I was crashing into a centre forward! Or running down a line to save my team. I'm not gonna be happy, be smiling.
We're gonna play fast, we're gonna play physical, we're gonna play furious, and we're gonna play contact football.
