Individually, I always want to give the most. I want to help the Brazilian National Team the best way possible, whether is with goals, assists or even a slide tackle, whatever. All that matters is to help the team.
That's probably the biggest thing for any team in the playoffs, for every team - if you want to win. It's not about your numbers. It's not about scoring. It's about the team and whatever it is you need to do to help the team win. Whether it's rebounding, taking charges, getting steals, blocking shots or guarding somebody.
I think the way to maximize not just your leadership but your ability to influence your team is whatever you can do that helps the team perform at a really high level.
The reason I want to be out on the field is to help my team, whatever which way possible I can. When I can't do that, it hurts me.
I want to help the Brazilian National Team the best way possible, whether is with goals, assists or even a slide tackle, whatever.
I always want to do whatever it takes - whatever I possibly can - to help my team-mates on the pitch.
You want to go out there and do what's best for the team, help your team move the ball down the field, make plays, help them win football games.
If the team's winning, I'm going to do whatever I can to help the team, whether that's from third-string role, backup, starter, it doesn't matter. I'm going to do what I can to prepare and help the team.
I'm just looking to go out there and win and do whatever I can to help my team win. I just want to be helpful on the floor.
I don't want to just be part of a team, I want to help a team, and I don't want anyone to say I rode the bench to get a ring.
I try to stay aggressive for the most part, dictating, whatever the situation may be. Just trying to do whatever I can to help the team win.
I just don't want my offense to carry over to my defense. I want to help the team win and be a team player.
Whatever the name of their favorite team or whatever city I'm in, everybody is completely convinced that I hate not any other team, just their team.
I still want to see the Knicks do well; I do. I promise I do. That's my team. After all the stuff that happened, people say to me, 'You still like the Knicks?' Well, that's just the way it is. That's what happens when you're a kid. Your team is your team, and everything is die-hard.
Whatever team you go to, you want to have guys who help you be successful there.
I'm a teammate guy, so whatever I can do to help my team to win like I have the past two years, that's what I want to do. If it takes for me to play first base, third base, right field, I just want to win the game.
