A Quote by Avery Bradley

Of course I feel like any player that plays this game should want to reach the highest level and the highest accolades, which includes the All-Star Game. So, yeah, I would be dumb not to want to be an All-Star.

As a human, yeah, it's awesome. You grow up and you are in Little League, and you want to make the all-star team; you go to college, and you want to make the all-star team. So any normal person would want to do it on the biggest stage and highest level. And I'm a normal person. I haven't changed there.

Anthony Rendon

I don't want people losing respect for me as a player. I want to go out in every game and perform to the highest level. I have no retirement plans. I've had a lot of injuries but I want to continue playing.

Robbie Fowler

I feel that the All-Star game is more like a party because its made up of a lot of elements. However the core of All-Star is still the 48 minute-game and all the fans will pay all attention to the showcase of the players excellent skills. The result of the game is not much of a concern.

Yao Ming

Any player that says they don't want to go to an All-Star Game is lying to you. It's something everyone wants to be a part of.

Derek Jeter

I don't just get bogged down in, 'I want to win.' There's something even greater than that. And that's the way that you play the game. I want to play beautiful football. That's our purpose: to go out and play the game at the highest level, play it the right way.

Matt Rhule

I want to be a star. It doesn't mean that I'll act any less. My performance will be at par, but I want to be a star. I want the audience to spend their hard-earned money on my tickets without doubting. And when that day comes, I'll believe I'm a star.

Taapsee Pannu

It doesn't feel different being here (at the All-Star Game) I feel like I'm on an All-Star team everyday.

Derek Jeter

The game is No. 1. You are an adjunct to the game. In a studio, there is no game. You are the star. That's why you are there. For the game, you can't go away from the game and beat your chest. People are there to watch the game. You are there to supplement, not to override or overwhelm.

Al Michaels

Oh, if I played in the All-Star game, I'm playing defense - hard for the first quarter. And I want to get a couple of dunks, too, like I do in a regular game.

DeAndre Jordan

If he is having a bad game, a team-mate might feel Paul Scholes is not quite on his game, but a spectator wouldn't notice. Scholes, of all the players I have played with, has the highest bottom level.

Peter Schmeichel

I frankly think the NBA All-Star game has run its course, the whole dunk contest... The game - if those guys actually played hard in that game, it'd be the best watch ever.

Jeff Van Gundy

I would say, look, any fighter that's out there or any star athlete - not star athlete in the sense of a baseball player, but like a Brock Lesnar - that really wants to fight, we're going to have a conversation with them. Because if they can move the needle, we're going to want them on Spike TV.

Scott Coker

If you're fixing a game, you're making calls up against star players to get that star player to the bench so that team is at a major disadvantage.

Tim Donaghy

I just don't want to go to the All-Star game to be in the dunk contest and go home. I want to be there competing in the game with a couple of my teammates.

DeAndre Jordan

To me, the All-Star Game is just another step. I try to take all my experiences and put them together. To make the NBA was something, and then to be recognized as an All-Star - although I don't consider myself a star. I see myself as just trying to reach my potential as B. J.
