At the end of the day you never know what team still wants what player. You just never know with the draft.
Every United player understands what United is about. The players understand it is a privilege to play for United.
A quarterback is always going to be the most valuable player on a football field because he touches the ball every single offensive play.
The glory is being happy. The glory is not winning here or winning there. The glory is enjoying practicing, enjoy every day, enjoying to work hard, trying to be a better player than before.
And I want to do it the right way, like everybody else, not just a famous figurehead that gets a job because he is a famous basketball player. I want to really learn the business.
I watch a lot of golf, but I’m only a fair-weather player.
For me, coming up, the first I had ever heard of basketball? It was from my mom. She was a really good player back in her day, and even played college ball at Kentucky State. And then she went on to become a coach and an AD after that – so she always stayed real close to the game, and kept it a part of her life.
I was living my dream as a WNBA player.
I always wanted to be more validated as a human being, as a person, than I was as a player. I think that was a really hard balance for me.
Bill Russell was my favorite player of all-time.
Lowry is a pitbull. He’s a gritty player who scores in a variety of ways, but he’s also one of the few guards who also does the things that go unnoticed on the stat sheet.
I’ve always favored kids as a player. If I walked out of the locker room and there were 100 people there and 50 of them were kids, I’d sign the 50 kids before anything else.
I manage a team, for beach soccer. I’m the coach. Player, coach.
My whole career from the early 70s on has been mind-blowing. I didn’t imagine in my life that I would ever be considered a guitar player first of all because I started off as a singer.
Being an actor is like being a bass player: one of the component parts to the collective hole.
There are a lot of pretty girls. I am a tennis player first of all, that is why I am here, and if wasn’t producing results no one would notice me.
I wasn’t originally a bass player. I just found out I was needed, because everyone wants to play guitar.
The No. 1 job is to help a player reach their highest potential, and that’s not possible without being able to relate with them. That’s been helpful, and as far as my knowledge base is concerned, that stems from being around great coaches willing to share.
It’s true: sometimes Balotelli could behave better, but it also happens to me. I have a similar character, Balotelli is also a very strong player, but if you protest against the referee for every decision, it’s logical you are going to irritate the fans.
I figure I’m a mandolin player first and foremost, and everything else I’ve accomplished is just a scam.
In cinema, the leading player is the director.
I was a very good tennis player in Ottawa, Canada – nationally ranked when I was, like, 13. Then I moved to Los Angeles when I was 15, and everyone in L.A. just killed me. I was pretty great in Canada. Not so much in Los Angeles.
My good friend Yao Ming was the first big player in the NBA to come from China. He gave himself to the game and was successful. That inspired the NBA to invest more and do more for the game of basketball. We’re building academies not just in China, but in India, Africa, Europe and South America as well.
I’m still growing each and every day. I’m trying to become a better person, a better player and an all-time better QB.
To wear this shirt, especially with the West Ham badge on it – it takes an honest player, hard-working, a player that leaves everything on the pitch and plays for the crest on the shirt.
The Champions League is always special. I believe every player, every fan, every coach wants this trophy. It is unbelievable, and it is one of the greatest achievements you can have in football.
When you get a chance to play, if you help them win a game, then the team will start believing that the player can also do this for the team. So building that confidence for yourself and the team is very important.
I like Jaco Pastorius’ ‘Portrait of Tracy.’ He was this bass player who played jazz fusion. He was the dopest bass player who ever lived.
I think what’s really the most ideal thing is for the player themselves, within their own imagination, to carve out what they view as being the essence of the character.
Patience, self-belief and regularity are three qualities that would take a young player to great heights.
Every player’s dream is to play Champions League and the World Cup.
My dad was a football player – a soccer player – for Manchester United, and I loved playing football, but I also happened to be the guy in class who was pretty good at sight reading. My teacher gave me scripts, and I was very comfortable.
I’m not a player; I’m just a lovely guy, and I can show a girl a good time.
I’m a player and I do it because I love playing whether it’s for my album or someone else’s.
I think I’m the first player in NBA history to average 20 points a game and shoot two free throws per game.
As far as I’m concerned, Aaron is the best ball player of my era. He is to baseball of the last fifteen years what Joe DiMaggio was before him. He’s never received the credit he’s due.
The best player I ever played with was Dennis Johnson.
The player envies only the player, the poet envies only the poet.
I am really not a speedcuber. My best time when I was practicing was about a minute. Usually people say if you can create a piano, you must be a good piano player, but it is not true. They are different type of human activities and need different capabilities.
I’m just not a great practice player.
Every player would love to play a tournament like the World Cup at home.
One of my favorite expressions ever uttered by a player is Roy Campanella’s line about how, in order to be a major-league player, you have to have a lot of little boy in you.
I want people to follow their dreams, yes… but I’m not interested in telling young black kids how to be rappers… I want to show them that there’s so many other paths you can take, besides a rapper or basketball player.
I have always said I am a player who looks for new challenges.
I was always the ‘boring’ type. I was into the stats and spending hours and hours and hours studying them. I was always more a manager than a player.
Michael Vick is my favorite player.
Any time you get a Hall of Fame player that even knows my name, you’re going to be pumped up about that.
Look at the better players of my era – Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Lee Trevino, Raymond Floyd. They had pros they worked with from time to time, but out on Tour, thousands of miles from home, each of them learned to be his own best coach. I think Tiger can do the same.
I don’t like it when a player says, ‘I like freedom; I want to play for myself.’ Because the player has to understand he is part of a team with 10 other players. If everyone wants to be a jazz musician, it will be chaos. They will not be a team, and nothing will be possible.
I’m an awesome ping pong player.
I never dreamed about being a millionaire – I dreamed about being a football player.
My two favorite things about being a pro player are Sunday afternoons being able to excite many fans and the money because I get to treat my family and friends and myself to nice things.
Every player needs to be aware of the levels of fitness needed to play international cricket.
In football, it’s the job of the player to play, the coach to coach, the official to officiate. Each guy is charged with upholding his end, nothing more. In golf, the player, coach and official are rolled into one, and they overlap completely. Golf really is the best microcosm of life – or at least the way life should be.
When I look at the system here and look at my position – not just as a basketball player, but when I look around me at the values of the people and the culture and compare them with the values of where I came from – I feel so blessed to be from Africa.
Every team needs goalscorers, attacking players, players who can sweep up the ball, but every team needs that someone who can be the link between defence and attack. The greatest teams always have that sort of player.
As a player, you want to win everything.
Producing isn’t just making beats on a beat machine. It’s bringing together these string players with this flute player and this singer, and telling them to all work in the key of C major… You bring these people together and let them all cook.
I wanted to be a hockey player. Where I grew up, the basketball courts were rarely used. I was terrible in school and actually said, ‘I’m going to be a hockey player.’
I want to be an impact player and come out of the gates fast.
Animation is very much a team effort so you must be a team player.

If you’d asked me when I was six, 16, and 26, I wanted nothing more than to be a big, recognized rock star. Especially when I was six and 16, because I thought that if I was a known guitar player in a known band, only cute girls would talk to me.
