What type of teammates do you want to play with? Be that teammate yourself
I've had teammates I didn't get along with, who hasn't? I've never had a teammate call me a bad guy, while he was my teammate, and if he did when I was gone what kind of teammate was he anyway?
If I can help my teammate or teammates play at a level they've never played at before, then it doesn't even matter so much how I play.
Tremendous teammate, that's what comes to mind when I think of Scottie Pippen. He was a very caring teammate who was always concerned about the team, always concerned about it. He just had a great understanding of the team concept. Everyone talks about a great teammate, but he really was a great guy to play with. He may have been having a 25 or 30-point game, but if he knew you were struggling, he'd find a way to get you going as well. He's that type of guy.
I just want to be in the middle of the order, playing solid defense, playing every day, being competitive and earning that my manager, the coaching staff, the front office, my teammates have faith that I'm going to be a helpful teammate. I want to do that until the very end.
As a competitor, you want to be out there. It's always tough to watch others play and know you've put in the time, you've put in work. But at the same time, you have to support them. You're a teammate, and you have to be the best teammate you can be and go out and continue to better, and hopefully you get an opportunity.
I just want to show Atalanta who I really am and show my teammates what kind of teammate I am.
I'm not one of those one-man-gang type of players. I'm a guy who has to rely on his teammates, to play within the team structure.
I was a great teammate and I love all my teammates, and then No. 2 is I'm a champion. So I don't care if anyone says I suck, because I don't.
I have not always been painted in the best picture of being the best teammate. But if you ask my actual teammates, not maybe the media and the other people that don't like me, if you ask my actual teammates, they will always say that I've been that guy.
You never want to put yourself in a position where you can bring negativity to yourself or the organization and your teammates.
I don't play for myself. I play for my teammates and play for the people that helped me get to where I am. I know they're watching me every week, and I want to play for them. It's just in my heart, and that's who I am.
You want to get your teammates involved. You want to make the right play. But sometimes you have to be the guy to make the play.
People have to see play as more important than what it currently is. We don't want to get boxed into thinking play only happens on a playground. The best type of play is all kinds of play.
That's why you play the game. You play the game for your teammates, who really want to play with and for you.
Being an actress, I want to play people that are not like me or the characters I've previously played. It's easier to get roles if you play a certain type of character but I don't want to do that.
When you play injured, you're still judged like you're 100 percent. You know you can't do all you want to, but you want to get back to help your teammates.
