The sign of a great player is how much he elevates his colleagues' performance.
It is my hope that Babar Azam will become a bigger player like Virat Kohli.
I'm not all about winning rushing titles, or 'Me, Me, Me,' but I do believe that I want to be a great player in this league, and I want to go down as one of the best to play in this league, and that's something you got to do.
You look at all the great players that they've had and the potential of playing in Yankee Stadium.
Critics have always questioned whether players like Pele from the 50s could play today. Lionel Messi could play in the 1950s and the present day, as could Di Stefano, Pele, Maradona, Cruyff because they are all great players. Lionel Messi without question fits into that category.
To become a good player, you need talent. To become a great player, you need an attitude like Kohli.
I think of myself as a great player, but the fans have to decide whether that's true.
I think about all the time how I'll be able to say that during my career, I played with the greatest players of my era. Hopefully, I'll be able to say I won championships with those players.
They try to say this era was a tainted era. But so many great players played in the last 15 to 20 years. This is going to be the best era in the history of the game in my opinion.
I think that if a player wants to be at the very top, he needs to win the Champions League and league titles. That's what makes the great players truly great.
It's just something about great players when they play in certain arenas or against other great players. They elevate their play. LeBron is one of those guys. He feels the moment. He understands the moment.
He's a big player, and the big players score the big goals and make the big contributions in the big games. That's what determines a great player. That's what Steven Gerrard is.
