I grew up playing the games, man, back when it was just Nintendos and Sega Genesis.

Yo Gotti

We've [me and brother] been playing hockey for a long time, since we were little kids. I started playing hockey at two and a half. Obviously, playing hockey we want to be known as good hockey players and hard working guys that earn everything they get.

P. K. Subban

When we were making games in the early '90s for the Super Nintendo and the Sega Genesis, popular games didn't have any real story.

Michael Morhaime

I like Sonic and all those types of games, and Sega Genesis.

Roy Hibbert

When I was growing up, I was an '80s baby, so I remember the Sega Genesis and the first Nintendo. I grew up in a time when we first started playing video games on a computer screen. Now there are headsets and your body's the controller.

Mehcad Brooks

I grew up with video games. My generation kind of grew up with the Nintendo and the Sega Genesis. Then, I had a Dreamcast and, finally, the PlayStation. So yeah, I've always been a big gamer.

CC Sabathia

I'm hugely into video games; I always have been. I started on the Sega with games like Sonic, Battletoads, and Tetris... all those old-school games.

Robert Whittaker

I love video games. I had a Sega Genesis and a Nintendo 64 growing up, and I've had every 'NBA Live' that has ever come out.

LaMarcus Aldridge

There is a lot of instinct that comes with playing hockey and playing a number of games and playing all the way up; you kind of get a feel for what's gonna happen and make plays off that.

Connor McDavid

When I was really little, we used to play Sega Genesis, and my older brother would play 'Sonic The Hedgehog 2,' and he'd be playing as Sonic, but he'd leave an unplugged controller for me to play with, and the whole time I thought I was playing as Tails.

Brook Lopez

My very first system was the Sega Genesis back when I was 7 or 8 years old. I played that into the ground. Like, my parents had to confiscate it and put it in attic, the whole thing.

Marie Lu

Growing up, I ate, slept and breathed hockey. I got home from school, I shot pucks, played outdoor hockey, road hockey, go home for dinner... Remember this is pre-Internet, barely any video games, I had a Commodore Vic-20. If you weren't doing your homework, you were outside playing hockey, most likely.

Chris Pronger

At the end of the day, it is hockey. It's the same game, the rules don't change. It's the same hockey game I've been playing since I was 2 years old. I think you can kind of rely on that.

Connor McDavid

Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis. When I was dead broke, man, I couldn't picture this.
