It's all about team accolades.

I understood even in college, when you win as a team, everyone gets their own accolades, individual accolades.
It's very easy to quantify performances and personal accolades, but ultimately, I'm in a team sport, and it's about winning.
It wasn't about accolades, but showing that I was bred and predestined to be one of best football players to come into the league - and, every Sunday, to help my team to win.
The 2002 (Olympic) team was a great team, we won the gold medal, they deserved all the accolades that they got. But this team seems to have a little more depth and maybe a little more talent to pick from. So it makes the job of picking the right 23 guys even more difficult.
Football is such a team sport, so no one individual does it. No one coach or no one assistant coach or no one player, it's a great team sport, so I don't get carried away with a bunch of accolades.
Those kind of accolades, the individual accolades are something that you can hang our hat on when it's all said and done.
I'm not in the game for personal accolades. I'm here to do my job and score as many runs for the team as I can.
We laud the women's cricket team when they win accolades, but when a regular girl enjoys watching cricket, the men look at her and start testing her knowledge about the sport.
If I have team-mates who can win individual accolades, then I will do everything to help them.
Scientists are not movie stars or politicians who will feel insulted if they are not showered with accolades. Scientists are not interested in accolades.
I'm definitely not a personal-type guy where I care about personal accolades and stuff, but definitely a team-guy first.
If you think and achieve as a team, the individual accolades will take care of themselves. Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.
I try to focus on myself and focus on my team, and the individual accolades will come.
I understood I would have to earn respect. I was coming to the best team in the world. You have to put aside all your accolades and pride. It doesn't matter if you were good in Europe. I was OK with that.
That's probably the biggest thing for any team in the playoffs, for every team - if you want to win. It's not about your numbers. It's not about scoring. It's about the team and whatever it is you need to do to help the team win. Whether it's rebounding, taking charges, getting steals, blocking shots or guarding somebody.
All the accolades that came my way winning Player of the Year, being top goalscorer all those things that happened, individually to me and collectively as a team, just made it very special.
