I think everybody needs to think about making plays for the team, making winning plays, before thinking about how many points we're going to score and stuff like that.

Rudy Gobert

Basketball is at its best when you have athletes in space making plays. It's the same for soccer, you have great athletes in space making plays and that's when the game becomes beautiful. You have spacing and skill and coaching. It's all synergetic. You don't have to be a basketball fan to appreciate that. You can be a person who appreciates movement. It's almost like a ballet at that point.

Shane Battier

I built my career in the league playing defense and making shots, and also making plays when I needed to.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

I think a lot of winning a Super Bowl is being at the right place at the right time. It's sacrifice, it's making team plays and being an impactful player is part of it.

Chris Long

A good football team plays offense and defense. You have to be aggressive and disrupt.

Vince Flynn

With the quarterback position, because you're touching the ball every single snap, you want to make a play and you just have to guard against that. It's about making the plays that come to you, not necessarily chasing after plays.

Doug Pederson

As someone who has carved out a career in this league by making winning plays, being tough on defense and just generally doing the dirty work for my team, I always hesitate to say any player is unguardable. I just hate that term.

P. J. Tucker

If I'm not making plays, I can't get the crowd going. When I'm making plays, that's where I can feel a vibe and can get into it with the crowd.

Joel Embiid

My father built me a theatre behind the house where I could put on plays. Dear me, I'm making it sound a bit grand, and it wasn't an amphitheatre or anything like that, just a little place with a roll-up curtain box and I'm sure the plays were childish lopsided things.

James Ivory

To be really honest, I do not mind whether it is offense or defense. I just like being in on plays and doing what needs to be done to help us win.

Julian Edelman

I've worked on my game to the point where anything they've asked of me, I try to come through and do it for them, whether that's defending, making plays, being a decoy, or knocking down shots and being a scorer.

Khris Middleton

A star player, even when he's not shooting the ball in crunch time, he's making the decisions and making the plays.

Jared Dudley

Having the ball in my hand all the time and making plays, it was bound to come to a point where I knew where to get the ball to, who and when to give the ball to somebody. Just making the right decisions when I have it.

Andre Drummond

You can say what you want about Carlos Tevez, but when he plays, he plays to win, and he plays for his team-mates.

Joe Hart

Those plays are winning plays, getting those blocks. Somebody's trying to dunk the ball and you get a block and that's demoralizing for the guy that tried to dunk the basketball.

Andre Drummond

I think, for me, I'm making the right plays and finding my teammates if I'm not open and finishing strong around the rim.
