If I play all the IPL games the whole season, I do get a bit tired towards the end.
You know that in a lot of games it is only decided towards the end. Players get tired and when you have that push from your fans you can feel the difference.
Once it gets down to single-digit games, you know the season's end is approaching, and we're all pretty physically tired.
Not only do you have 16 regular-season games, you also have four preseason games. Then if you make the playoffs, you can have four more games before you get to the Super Bowl. So you can already have 24 games without the 18-game season. And 24 games takes a real toll on somebody's body.
When you're a striker, you want to play all the games, and most chances come at the end because defenders are tired.
It's the play-offs, the end of the season, the big games, if that doesn't excite you as a team or a player then you shouldn't be playing.
I mean everybody's tired at the end of the season. But I've never hit the point that I was so tired that I couldn't have kept going.
It's probably better for me to play 40 or 45 games and occasionally be rested and therefore still be full of energy at the end of the season.
If you want to be a top player you have to play well for the whole season and then ten more seasons, not just three or four games.
Sure, I get tired. But it's a long season, and you've got to play no matter if you have a little injury. I'm that kind of player.
Going in, you want to play a perfect season and play throughout the whole entire season, but injuries are a part of basketball.
If I play a video game, I have to get through the whole thing. Like, when the new 'Resident Evil' comes out, I have to sit and do the whole thing. It will consume my life. I'm at a point where I don't have much time to play around anymore, so I don't really get started on the games if I won't be able to finish them.
If at the end of the season it gets better, I'll take that over shooting good at the beginning and not shooting good towards the end of the season.
I have three different groups of girlfriends and I swear to you, we put the world to rights between 8.15 and whenever we end. Some days there's a lot of running and a bit of talking, some days there's a lot of talking and a bit of running. But by the end I'm oxygenated and body-tired, as opposed to mind-tired.
I never got in a conflict. I didn't want Don Shula to say a word to me at all. My play emphasized that. He couldn't get me for anything or whatever. After that we were ok. I just didn't like the way they used me at the end of the 1963 season going in 1964. I felt that they played games with me.
I think that a lot of people are like, 'Oh, he only - he got hurt in the college season, where they only played 40 games. How is he gonna play 82 games in the NBA season?' They don't really look at the fact that in college, you practice way harder than in the NBA.
Guardiola took the decision to not play me in the DFB-Pokal final. He did not want me to win the trophy as top scorer, so he did not let me play during the end of the season. It was not really so important for me, but I felt it was a lack of respect towards me.
