I'm not a mean player. You'll notice I never pick on a player who has a number above 30.
I don't pick on anybody who has a number above 30.
I never gave up as a player, and I won't give up as someone who wants to go to the Hall of Fame, because it's the ultimate goal for a baseball player or a football player or a basketball player.
I was always geared towards either wanting to finish number one or be number one as far as the best player that I could be, or be the best player at my position in the league. I wanted that to be a constant reminder to my teammates that they looked to their leader who is wearing that number, this is what you should strive for as well.
I am a hero worshiper. I love the number one tennis player. I love the number one baseball player. I want to see those records broken.
In training and at the club, players know that the player is good. You notice when the guy arrives, who's the ace, who's the player who maybe can't take the level.
If you ask footballers to pick out the player they most admire, so many of them will pick Paul Scholes. His passing and shooting is of the highest level and he’s the most consistent and naturally gifted player we’ve had for a long, long time.
Transfer fees don't show which player is better. It's only a number necessary for a club to get a player.
Overseas, kids grow up in a soccer culture. The German player sees the game eons above the American player the same age.
I never look at myself as a black player. I think of myself as a hockey player that wants to be the best player in the league.
It's tough at first. You realize in the NBA, it's not easy. Each and every night, you're playing against that player that was the best high school player, that player that was the best player on his college team.
When I get the record, all it will make me is the player with the most hits. I'm also the player with the most at bats and the most outs. I never said I was a greater player than Cobb.
When I get the record, all it will make me is the player with the most hits. I'm also the player with the most at bats and the most outs. I never said I was a greater player than (Ty) Cobb.
Just because a player drops down a division, it doesn't mean he's turned into a bad player overnight and isn't good enough for England.
If we win trophies, it is the most important thing. Of course, it's good for a player to win individual awards and I will never say I don't want to be the best player in the league or I don't want to be the PFA Player of the Season.
You learn something new from every player. No player is the same, so I'm definitely trying to pick up as much as I can from the guys ahead of me and from the guys who have been in the league for a long time.
I never really got that chance at Manchester City and developed into a utility player. Playing in all the positions has made me a better player because it's not easy to do that. Understanding the game has made me a more rounded player as well.
