A Quote by Kevin Durant

I play basketball. I can't control the media, the way I play. I can't control all of it. — © Kevin Durant
I play basketball. I can't control the media, the way I play. I can't control all of it.
What I like about Pochettino is the way that he looks in control. He is in control of his players, in control of the way that they play.
I just go out there and play basketball. I play basketball the way I'd play if I was at the park. There's no motives with me. I'm all for the team, and that's how I play.
Actors are very often people who are placed in a position where they think they have to be grateful for the job and have no control over what they play and how they play it. I was not taught that way. I completely disagree with that. I think that you have more control than you think.
You have to control what you can control, not the entire game, and try to play the best soccer possible and play clean and be smart and professional.
Multinational corporations do control. They control the politicians. They control the media. They control the pattern of consumption, entertainment, thinking. They're destroying the planet and laying the foundation for violent outbursts and racial division.
You have more control of things if you play defense. And you can control how you play defense, too, with effort and preparation.
In a cricket career, your life is in some ways controlled for you. You have no control over schedules, you have no control about where you want to play, you don't have control over that as a cricketer.
As you progress as a basketball player, the world around you becomes more and more chaotic. There's more talent, there are more distractions - and these are all factors that create a lack of control. By having a routine, by having habits that I can fall back on, it's my way of enacting control. It's the only thing I can control.
My game plan - doesn't matter who I play - is to play on my terms, to control as much as I can, to try to get control of the centre of the court, to try to dictate and make them move, to be their director rather than letting them impose their game on me.
If you control the food, you control a nation. If you control the energy, you control a region. If you control the money, you control the world.
I can't always control my body the way I want to, and I can't control when I feel good or when I don't. I can control how clear my mind is. And I can control how willing I am to step up if somebody needs me.
I can only control the way I play.
I don't come from any type of entertainment. I come from a basketball family. My dad still says, 'Trevor, are you sure don't want to play basketball? You can play in college and go to the NBA!' But I did play.
I couldn't control Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Tom Watson or Lee Trevino. The only person I could control was me. The only person I could prepare for events was me. And if I didn't play well, I didn't play well, and I wasn't going to compete.
You control what you do offensively, defensively. You're controlling who you play, how you want to play.
You control the terms of the conflict. Make them play your game. Don't try to play theirs.
