I want to play for a team that has a strong defensive reputation. One that relies on a system and where assists are valued. And a team that needs what I do - making other guys better, leading a team, being a defensive stopper every night. I want to be a good fit.

Malcolm Brogdon

I come from a Napoli team who scored 104 goals. Do you think I'm going to be hyper-defensive with Real Madrid? A team that creates chances and is great in possession is not defensive.

Rafael Benitez

The most overrated thing is that you're a good defensive team because of your coaching. No. You're a good defensive team because you care and because it's important to you.

Kelvin Sampson

I think when you're a very good defensive team - it's very rare a team wins a championship when you're not a very good defensive team.

Rudy Gobert

I don't say we are a defensive team. I say we are a strong team in defensive terms, but at the same time lacking sufficient fluidity in attack because that will take time to come.

Jose Mourinho

For every team in the playoffs, their defensive intensity, their defensive attention to detail just becomes greater.

Mike Budenholzer

You have to win games by scoring points, of course, so that's important. But when you're having nights against a good defensive team, you have to win in a different manner. You have to win a defensive-type game.

Jerry West

It's important for us, if we're going to be a good team, to be a good defensive team in the fourth quarter.

Steve Nash

If you commit to the defensive end of the floor, you're going to have a chance to win every night. And if you're a great defensive team, you're going to go to the playoffs.

Frank Vogel

I want to be on the All-Defensive team, be rookie of the year, make the All-Star team, all that type of stuff.

Andrew Wiggins

'The Memphis Grizzlies' are always a great defensive team and defense is one of my strengths, so I think that's one thing that I can bring to this team.
