I was twice voted best left-back in the world.
Iniesta deserved to win the Ballon d'Or. To win it, you have to be lucky that the attackers have not done so well. If Messi and Ronaldo score 50 or 60 goals, they will always give it to them.
When we created Overwatch at Blizzard, it was always with the expectation that we would be able to celebrate and recognize our players in a way that would be consistent with traditional sports.
Before leaving, I was seen as a good player, perhaps as a very good player, but as one of the many players that Bayern had. But if you play as a Real footballer, you get even more attention. Maybe that part from the fans I do not like so much.
To be named as one of the finalists for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame's Class of 2010 on Friday was a special moment for me. As a player, it's something that you dream about. It's an honor that you have to earn based on your career and the respect from your peers around you.
I just want to show that Juve have done well to believe in me.
You want to be Defensive Player of the Year.
We have about 4 million people who have voted for who they want to see in the Hall of Fame. There are some people they put down that are pretty good players. You have Ray Guy, Jim Plunkett, Lester Hayes and Donnie Shell.
If my performance down the stretch lands me on the All-NBA, which I think I'm deserving of, then so be it. I'll be happy.
Well, it's always nice to know the fans didn't forget what you did when you played in the NHL.
Juventus rejected an offer from Barcelona for me. It was a big offer, and that means I'm an important player for the club, and I have to thank them for that.
I back all of my players, not only Wayne Rooney.
Its the name on the front of the jersey that matters most, not the one on the back.
It's quite strange looking down the list of players who've won the young player award in the past and then thinking I'm in there too now. There's some great names like Ryan Giggs, Craig Bellamy - and I can't miss out Chris Gunter - and it's a big boost to be included.
It means a lot to be Pro Bowl. There's a lot of people who vote and they watch football a lot.
He practiced against Kobe all of last year, so obviously it was sweet revenge for him. We deserved that. We didn't know who he was, we gave him up to Charlotte, we had no idea how good a player he was.
I could care less about identifying who the MVP is in a championship game.
At the end of the day, you just want to go to a team that believes in you... and hopefully wants to build a franchise around you.
To get the PFA Player of the Year is a fantastic honour. It's the highest honour you can get because it's voted by your fellow peers.
The goal is to win a championship, but when you win and you play pretty well, and you start hearing 'All-Star' and 'Sixth Man.' That's really unbelievable.
One of my goals is to play the Olympics in 2016. If you're able to represent your country in the Olympics everyone will understand you as a player and not many people do get to go to the Olympics.
The end goal is to become FIFA Women's Player of the Year.
That's what the big players get recognised for, scoring goals or creating goals.
I was on a high after the Under-17 World Cup, with the manager talking about me a bit.
If he isn't named footballer of the year, football should be stopped and the men who picked any other player should be sent to Kremlin. (on Tommy Smith)
