I think each player has an individual style. Each is concerned with giving the best to his team, and I think my best talent is dribbling and setting up goal situations, giving an assist or deceiving one of the other team's players.
Talent is extremely important. It's like a sports team, the team that has the best individual player will often win, but then there’s a multiplier from how those players work together and the strategy they employ.
It's tough at first. You realize in the NBA, it's not easy. Each and every night, you're playing against that player that was the best high school player, that player that was the best player on his college team.
Perhaps the toughest call for a coach is weighing what is best for an individual against what is best for the team. Keeping a player on the roster just because I liked him personally, or even because of his great contributions to the team in the past, when I felt some one else could do more for the team would be a disservice to the team's goals.
Individual players don't win titles no matter how good you are as a player. The best players in the world need a team around them. It is about the team, and we are playing for the badge.
...you could be the best team or the best player in different generations and people respect each other. Nobody cares who was the best.
I always think that the best players can fit in any team, no matter the style of the team.
My ambition is that I have the best players
who can collaborate with each other to form
the best team in the world.
Of course you have Messi and Ronaldo. And then you've got a lot of players who are very close to each other and I think Gareth Bale is one of them, like at the level of the best teams in the world. He could play for every team in the world. For me he's a world class player.
It is clear that Barca are the best team in the world, and can call on the best players in the world, but we will only achieve something if we are convinced we can do it. We must only think of giving our all.
Man must know the principle of Creation: giving between each interchanging opposite half of each cycle for the purpose of repeating its giving. This is universal law and each individual must manifest this law. Man will forever war with man until he learns to give his all with the full expectation of equal receiving, and never taking that which is not given as an earned reward for his giving.
I think it's huge, especially in team sports, for players to be able to rely on each other and to really trust in each other.
When your great players are team players, everybody else follows their lead. The best team doesn't always win - it's usually the team that gets along best.
I think about fighting my brother being as natural as giving him a hug. We were basically born facing each other, so it would be something interesting. We'd put on the best fight we ever had. We know each other too well.
This Dutch national team is a team of friends, guys who work for each other and are good for each other. I think it's nice to see.
I think we're really good about pushing each other in practice and we have high tempo and I feel like we have some of the best players in the world so just competing against one another and getting in there and pushing each other around and getting ready for that physical style of game coming up, we have to play hard and pretend it's a game.
We are not giving up on the Coyotes in the Greater Phoenix Area... The team has got a number of options and is going to pursue them, so nobody should think that team is moving other than out of Glendale.
