In training, you can push yourself to the limit and test yourself against the best players in the world. That is when the pressure is really on, and they are the moments when you either improve, or you don't.

Trent Alexander-Arnold

It was a lot of fun playing against one of the best players to ever play this game in Michael Jordan. For me it was a dream to play against him night in and night out in the NBA with the New York Knicks.

John Starks

What really excited me at the end was the challenge of being the best I can be and prolonging my best level and playing against the best players in the world. But now that I don't have the opportunity to play against the best players in the world when it counts, in front of fans, it doesn't excite me as much.

Steve Nash

I always found it a great challenge playing against Michael Jordan, to play against Magic Johnson, to play against Larry Bird, to play against all those good players because it's something that you can take away from it.

Shawn Kemp

The better the players you play with and against, it does improve you.

Harry Maguire

When I was a child I had a dream to become a football player. I always played as I played when I was a child. I tried to improve. I never dreamt of becoming a professional football player, I dreamed just to play with the best players in the best team. I never dreamed to be paid to play. I would have paid to play an FA Cup Final in front of 80,000 people in Wembley. I just tried to play the wonderful game that football is. So, I hope young players will still have this dream.

Eric Cantona

It is always interesting to play against a team that has many of the best players in the world.

Cesar Azpilicueta

I always say all the time that's what the NBA is all about - getting to play against the best guys and opportunities to redeem yourself against teams that beat you.

Avery Bradley

I was on the sideline with a knee injury and when I came back, I wanted to play at the best level I could. And that's the case for a lot of players, they want the chance to play against the best competition.

Claudio Reyna

I prefer to play against the best players and the best teams and the best coaches. Never personal.

Jose Mourinho

I think I know how to try to play the best, and to play the best sometime is to improve.

Gael Monfils

It is always good to play against the best players in the world and Eto'o has been in his time. He has that bit of class about him.

Conor Coady

I think I must play how I can, that's all. And if I play my best I'll be happy. It doesn't matter because NHL is the best league in the world and we have great players so whoever the coach puts me with is the best. The coach knows best.
