I'm not cocky, I'm humble, but I think I can be really special, one of the top players in the league.
If you have the choice between humble and cocky, go with cocky. There's always time to be humble later, once you've been proven horrendously, irrevocably wrong.
The Champions League is the one thing missing from my career. When I look at the history of the competition and the people that have taken part, the top, top players have all won it. For many, it is why they have been regarded as top players.
For the players, these top, top, top games or these top, top, top events - like a World Cup or a European Championship - are not common but, of course, something special.
I'd say in the NBA, we have a league that really encourages players to stand for what they believe in. And I think that has created a great relationship between the players and the league.
A lot of people think I'm cocky or arrogant but I'm really just chill and cool and humble.
I think that if a player wants to be at the very top, he needs to win the Champions League and league titles. That's what makes the great players truly great.
All of Europe's biggest clubs place the Champions' League as their top priority these days but only one of us can lift the trophy. The domestic league titles are still crucial of course, but I think most players will tell you the Champions' League is the one they want to win most of all.
I thought those three years when we won championships, I really was good enough to play in the All-Star game. I felt I deserved to be in the top whatever that would be, the top 20-some players in the league. Really felt that comfortable and confident on the basketball court.
It's no secret that I think that MLS is a top five, top six league in the world but they're not the top league.
On the field, I'm very, very arrogant - cocky. I think that's how you have to be as a DB. All the great DBs I know - the best DBs ever - had that. I bet you couldn't rank the top 10 of DBs and say when he was playing he was very humble and didn't talk smack. I think it would be impossible.
Any strengthening of the squad, in a League and Champions League which demands so much, is a good thing because you need many top quality players.
I've played with some great players and against some great players, and Sonny is special, he's so humble and I think that you underestimate that because of the work he puts in, then his quality, outstanding left foot, right foot.
James Harden has been and is one of the top players in the league, and he's been that way. He can defend, he's strong, and offensively, he might be the best in the league.
I don't really want to be cocky when I say this, but I really feel I can be one of the best rim protectors in the league, you know, as a rookie.
I think there are a lot of good players in the top 20, top 30 that are top-10 players. You got to get there. You got to earn it.
I like Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud, they are good players, but are they going to win you the Premier League? No, and I say that because they are not going to be in the top five or six goal scorers in the league.
