My main trick is to work with amazing people. It's a long and twisty journey, and you need people that really are amazing and have this rare gift of honesty and courage and really open up.
Depending on the point in the game and what's necessary, if you can deliver the play, whatever that is - heck, if it's a screen - and you get a guy open, and he scores a big basket for you, that gives me as much of a charge as anything.
If things work out for you as a team, then there are individual things that happen for you. But if you're not talented enough as a team, its hard for people to give you the recognition.
A team will always appreciate a great individual if he's willing to sacrifice for the group.
A good captain is great only if he has a great team.
Good leadership isn't about advancing yourself. It's about advancing your team.
When you work with a great director, you can have a great partnership.
Throughout my career, I was blessed with great teams and great teammates.
It's a special honor to be one of the leaders of this football team. But I said it once, I'll say it again, no one person wins a game by themselves. Individually, it's top of the mountain, my sport, my profession. It's what you dream about as a kid.
Double J is similar in age, we're similar in experience. I think if we hooked up, we could be a formidable team. We get along well inside the ring and outside the ring.
For me, it's important to build good partnerships rather than score centuries. Once, you have those partnerships, you will also get centuries.
In sports, teams win and individuals don't.
The formula for success is every guy can make a difference for the entire team in whatever his role is. And to do it right, to get it right, is a critical factor in being successful.
Humility is what makes teams great. I've preached it for a long period of time.
If you really got the right people, and you've got them working together as a team, whether it's in business, whether it's in science, whether it's in politics, you can make a big difference.
It's always good to score, and if we want to do something as a team, you need your important players to be at their best.
I am happy because I am helping the team and happy because I am playing well.
I'm going to come in and be a hard worker, and I'm going to try to lead by example and be a great teammate, and everything on the field is going to take care of itself.
Chemistry is important. If you like your teammates, it's going to be easier to play with them on the court.
When all the performances are excellent, critics understand it's the direction.
It always depends on who you work with. It is not about the budget, not about the countries but about people.
In great teams conflict becomes productive.
At the end of the day, I just want to work hard for the team, and if I improve, I'm really satisfied.
The key to teamwork is to learn a role, accept a role, and strive to become excellent playing it.
The thing it taught me was that winning's a helluva lot more fun than losing. It also taught me that the team with the best players that worked together the best wins.
