I wanted to be the best player, so I thought in order for me to be the best player, I had to guard the best player on the court.
Going from a situation where you're the best player on the court every time to the fourth-best player in your position, it humbled me.
I'm going to come in and learn and be the best player I can be on the court as well as off the court.
If we want the best pitcher, let's get Bobby Feller. If want the best football player, let's get Jimmy Brown; the best basketball player, let's get Bill Russell. If we want the guy who can do the best job for the United States - let's get Donald Trump.
I want to be remembered as a great player, but I guess it will be as a player who got angry on a tennis court.
I want to be the strongest player, the most intelligent player, and the most skilled player on the court at all times.
I don't just want to be the best black player or the best Asian player. I want to be the best golfer ever.
I had some moments in my career where I'd walk on the court, and I look around and feel, 'Oh, I'm the best one out here.' But then you go on another court, and you could be the worst player out there.
I think every time I step on the court, I'm just preparing myself to be the best player I can be, be the best teammate I can be as well.
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.
I dont want to return to France, because Ive won everything there - league title, cup, best player, best young player
One or two years ago, I didn't know who I was on court and I used to swear a lot. But now I've learned how to cope and can therefore win 10 matches in a row. I want to be remembered as a good player rather than an idiot on court.
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.
My ultimate goal is to be the best player in the world. If I'm the best player in the world, I'll be the face of American golf. It will come with the territory. That's where I want to be. If I want to be there, I have a lot of guys I have to beat out, in the U.S. and the world.
I felt like the best player on the court every night in college.
Playing the game at a high level, understanding what it's like to get to where I've already been and where they want to go. I tell those kids that we're going to develop you, we're going to teach you, and we're going to have you ready off the court and on the court to be an NBA player.
