I've always cared about my teammates, but it's about being vocal and letting them know I care about them... not just on the basketball court.

I love my teammates. I'm never going to try and let them down.

Myles Garrett

I hate letting my teammates down. I know I'm not going to make every shot. Sometimes I try to make the right play, and if it results in a loss, I feel awful. I don't feel awful because I have to answer questions about it. I feel awful in that locker room because I could have done something more to help my teammates win.

LeBron James

Sue Bird

I try to write as serious as possible, and then a joke slips in.

Jeff Lindsay

Comedy is serious - deadly serious. Never, never try to be funny! The actors must be serious. Only the situation must be absurd. Funny is in the writing, not in the performing. If the situation isn't absurd, no amount of joke will help.
