I think the players win the championship, and the organization has something to do with it, don't get me wrong. But don't try to put the organization above the players.
A player who makes a team great is better than a great player.
Approximately four years ago, we were told that Jerry Rice would be a free agent and there were people who felt that he no longer could contribute.
One guy can't make a team better.
I love to have the ball. That's why I play soccer, and we have a great coach who has this kind of view, he sees everything, and I just want to help as much as I can, on the pitch and off the pitch.
To me, there's no honor to say, 'I'm going to start.' As long as you're getting minutes, you're closing games, that shows more of the value to the team than to say you're a starter.
When the key players in your team perform well, the team does well, too.
I think that a starting pitcher has to do something special to be as valuable or more so than a position player.
I want to play in every match, score goals when the opportunity presents itself, and help players in good positions to also score goals.
That's what good players do, try to help their team.
Respect Dhoni's decision to quit. We should respect his incredible contribution to Indian cricket. Can't measure in words. Probably his quitting came one Test early.
When you look at not just for Sixth Man but also for any award in the NBA even when it comes to the MVP, you should look at their impact to their team.
I just hope I get picked by the right team and the team that really wants me and a team where I can help and take it to the next level.
It's good when you score goals because you are helping your team. For yourself as well, it's good, but the most important thing is the strength of the team.
The work of a team should always embrace a great player but the great player must always work.
I rather win one championship as a key player than four championships as a part-time player.
I was an all-around player - if I was just a scorer, there's no way the Hawks would have won 50 games four years in a row.
I like how the other guys are stepping up. If we keep this up, then Bell does not have to score 25 points a game for us to win.
The foreign players have arrived in India to give our contribution in order to improve the Indian League, to make it more smart, more well-known, more open, and also to prove our quality along with Indian players.
You need young guys to come in and play like older guys, really help the team and produce.
I want to go to a team that really wants me and can use me to be successful.
You could have a player that gave you some iffiness but his talent would make a real contribution, but you had to have an overwhelming base of players so you know exactly what you had.
I don't like to talk about players who haven't played; I prefer to talk about the ones who have.
You bring your strength to the game - that's what I've learnt, and that's what I try to bring to England.
I may not hit 50, 40 or 30 home runs, but I can do the little things like moving runners over that don't show up in the box score.
