Each player must accept the cards life deals him or her: but once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.
To see a player dunk in women's college basketball is just amazing. It's great to see that the game has reached that level now.
Nancy Lopez has always been a role model of mine... so to have the opportunity to play for her and spend time with her has been amazing.
My older brother Mike is an excellent trumpet player. By the time he was 12, he was playing around Kansas City in classical situations. He was already an amazing talent.
The greatest players use anger as fuel. Michael Jordan played every night with something like road rage.
Lots of young players have triumphed at United, so why can't it happen to me? I'm not worried I'm young - it's an incentive to do the best I can.
I come to spring training and just try to do my job, try to do the best I can. That's all any player can do.
I knew when I got to play with Al Jackson I would be a better bass player because he was the best drummer in the world. I worshipped him.
The human element should be the two players on the court, not the officials. The best officials are the ones you never notice. The nature of the game made officials too noticeable a part.
I'm just trying to grow. That's one thing I told myself is, 'Don't worry about who people say is the best player.'
I won't accept anything less than the best a player's capable of doing... and he has the right to expect the best that I can do for him and the team!
If a player demonstrated that he is the best, and a team decides, even so, we don't want to pay him, as in any other business, he should be able to play elsewhere.
I don't care what other people say. I fight every day to be the best player I can.
If Jurgen Klinsmann thinks that the best way for his team to be successful is if his young players go to Europe, there is nobody in the world who can argue with that. That is his opinion, whether you agree with it or not.
I believe in Wendel Clark. We want Wendel to be a prime-time player.
No coach has ever won a game by what he knows; it's what his players know that counts.
Everything that happens to you, I feel like it helps you develop as a person, as a player.
I taught myself off records, Memphis Slim, them old piano players, then added to it. Yeah, hard and loud, beat it to pieces.
A particular shot or way of moving the ball can be a player's personal signature, but efficiency of performance is what wins the game for the team.
I think the challenges for me was to go into the studio with these incredible jazz players and come up to their level of excellence. That's always a challenge.
The Giants are looking for a trade but I don't think Atlanta wants to depart with a quality player.
