I could probably stand up and have a press conference and thank 100 guys within that Denver organization, along with all those teammates I played with.

Pressure can make a diamond. Pressure makes me play better because I don't want to let my teammates or my fans down, and that makes me play extra hard.

I just trust my teammates to be able to make the right play - I don't have to score every time I have the ball, or shoot the ball every time I have it.

Without my success in basketball, I'm nothing. My family, my daughter, my teammates, my foundation, my acting career - they all depend on that success.

As long as I've got the respect from my teammates, I'm able to come to work each day and I'm able to have fun with the guys that I'm on the court with.

If I could help the pitcher as much as I can, or I could save three to five errors a year with my defense, then that's just a big help for my teammates.

Obviously, getting traded halfway through the year is always tough. New faces, new teammates, guys you played against but don't know on a personal level.

Getting a chance to practice six months against my own teammates, who I consider the best soccer players in the world, there's no way I couldn't improve.

For me, Ramadan is not an easy time because it's a time when I need to work much harder, because I need to help my teammates. That's the way I see things.

I get paid a bunch of money to do this, and so there's a responsibility to my teammates, every single day, to show up and be the absolute best you can be.

When I come off the ball screen, I'm always trying to draw another defender, so where I can get my teammates open, and if not, I can score the basketball.

When I played, I never needed the spotlight, nor did I want it. I simply wanted to play baseball and be respected by my teammates and the opposing players.

When you play injured, you're still judged like you're 100 percent. You know you can't do all you want to, but you want to get back to help your teammates.

I just don't want to go to the All-Star game to be in the dunk contest and go home. I want to be there competing in the game with a couple of my teammates.

The greatest memory for me of the 1984 Olympics was not the individual honors, but standing on the podium with my teammates to receive our team gold medal.

I can't sit here and try to do it all on my own because there's no way I'll be able to. It's a matter of trusting my teammates no matter what it looks like.

The people in the villages had turned in on themselves. You can understand it. When you have a bad day on the field, what do you do? Talk to your teammates.

My international experience has given me a feel for the game other freshmen and college players don't have. I plan to take that to make my teammates better.

I wasn't a guy who looked to score first. It was to get your teammates involved, to understand time and clock management and having fun with your teammates.

I love making the big play. I love being out there with my teammates. I love the camaraderie. I can't say I always love practice. But it's a means to an end.

I work hard each and every summer, each and every day on my game to become a better player for my teammates, for the organization. Hard work always pays off.

Atletico was a real group of friends. We went out together, and my teammates taught me a language I did not know at all when I arrived. When I left, I cried.

My teammates at Duke - all of them, black and white - were a band of brothers who came together to play at the highest level for the best coach in basketball.

I love to set up my teammates. I am not here to be a star, to show off. I am here to play for the others, but if I have to try and clinch a game, then I will.

I apologies to my fans, teammates and the Grizzlies organization for regrettably not doing the necessary research about what supplements I can put in my body.

Just my relationship with people - my teammates, my family, my partner everything. I don't really know how to explain it, it's just a peaceful feeling inside.

I try to come in, try to defend, help on defense, play as hard as possible and do whatever my coach and my teammates tell me and try to listen and get better.

I had a couple friends from all the different cliques in school, but my true friends were my gymnastics teammates. I grew up competing with them for ten years.

I want to see given extra effort, pulling for your teammates: those are the kinds of things we're shooting for and we're going for because that's what we need.

My first game went very well. My teammates told me to be quiet and not to put pressure on myself. I hope to do even more in the future and start scoring goals.

It was a poor decision on my end to definitely disrespect the game. Poor decision of mine to misrepresent the Bucks, myself, my family, obviously my teammates.

I know people are going to put the main focus on stopping me, so I need to learn how to make my teammates better by passing and creating opportunities for them.

I want to be successful in playing the game. I'm going to do my best to help myself and my teammates play in the best possible way and reach successful results.

I really believe the only thing you can control in those situations is what you do as a player but also how you interact with your teammates, which is critical.

I never want to let my teammates or coaches down, so I always fight through the days when I am exhausted or experiencing discomfort with injuries and headaches.

I wake up every day like, 'How can I get better, how can I help my teammates be successful? I try to control what I can control and worry about us, nothing else.

Grooming in football is quite big. I'm somebody that brings my Boss Bottled Unlimited to training or in my washbag, and I've put a few of my teammates onto that.

I think I want to be remembered by is working hard. That's it. And I'm pretty sure, my teammates, that's what they'll say about me. You know, Hop is competitive.

If you stay around in the NBA long enough, you're going to bounce around, your teammates are going to bounce around, but those friendships, they remain constant.

I always try to talk to my younger teammates in the same way I would do with my older ones and you can see in their eyes how much showing them some respect means.

I try to take whatever the defense gives me, have a sense of urgency, know who's guarding me and pick my spots, get my teammates involved and also attack the rim.

When I started to do it with precision, I realized how much setting good screens made us better as a team offensively. It made things easy for me and my teammates.

The Defensive Player of the Year is the guy that makes his team better. Not only gets stats - it's the guy that also has an impact on his teammates and leadership.

I think the coaches are trying to push me and get me out of my comfort zone in being able to communicate with my teammates and being more of a leader on the floor.

When I see one of my teammates make a good play, to keep that energy going, I feel like that's what I do on the defensive end, and then make a good offensive play.

If someone says something to me, I am not going to back down. Whether it's defending myself or standing up for one of my teammates, that is the way I play the game.

My family taught me about that, about being the leader, being there for your teammates and caring about everything during the game, after the game, before the game.

You can't control yourself in a game while people are screaming at you, teammates, referees trying to get in the middle. So you end up doing things without thinking.

Just every day try to be a leader, try to get better and to help my team win. I just want to be more vocal, like talk more so my teammates can know I got their back.

No other teammates can help you when you're on the ice by yourself against the clock. So I decided that if I'm going to race on my own, I'm going to train on my own.
