For us it's better to think of our opponents as idiots. It's easier to play hard against someone you don't like than it is to play against a friend.

Karch Kiraly

I always found it a great challenge playing against Michael Jordan, to play against Magic Johnson, to play against Larry Bird, to play against all those good players because it's something that you can take away from it.

Shawn Kemp

Most people won't play basketball with NBA players, because you have to be in the NBA, but you don't have to be a pro to play against pro gamers. There's a chance they could load in and play the same game as them.

Gordon Hayward

The important thing is to keep playing, to play against weak opponents and to play for big stakes.

Warren Buffett

It was a lot of fun playing against one of the best players to ever play this game in Michael Jordan. For me it was a dream to play against him night in and night out in the NBA with the New York Knicks.

John Starks

Once you're on the pitch, you play for your team, and you want to win. During the year, you can play against friends - you can play against big friends and close friends - but once you are on the pitch, this friendship goes away, and you just focus on winning the game.

Petr Cech

Michael Owen's wonder goal against Argentina in 1998 was one defining memory, and as a Sunderland supporter, I remember crying my eyes out after they lost that play-off final against Charlton. Much as that hurt, it made me realise how much I wanted to play the game.

Steph Houghton

I just have to play my best against my opponents.

Angelique Kerber

To be respectful to opponents is to play hard against them.

Jill Ellis

I can play against a player like Messi; I don't fear anybody. I just play my game.

Patrice Evra

When you play Futures and Challengers for three, four years, you're playing in obscurity. You play the game for other reasons. You don't play the game for money or attention. You play the game because you like to play. You play the game because you enjoy the journey.

Tennys Sandgren

Forget your opponents; always play against par.

Sam Snead

Against Novak, it's really tough for me to play, I mean, because he doesn't give me any time. I don't really like to play against him because he has a game style which doesn't fit me at all.

Dominic Thiem

I was a mamma's boy. She had me at 15, so we were close enough in age where we could play basketball against each other. We used to play one-on-one and race in the yard all the time.

Demaryius Thomas

I'm not sure if it's easier to play against teams who try to play football against you rather than sit back.

Gylfi Sigurdsson

I love my job. If I have a chance to play against some of the top talent in the world or whether it's against guys around the corner, I'm going to play.

DeMarcus Cousins
