Chris Bosh Quotes

In football, I've always been about adapting to what's asked of me, to what my team-mates need from me. I'm a team player.

I just want to go out there and just be that player that my team needs me to be, whatever they need me to do.

I knew that to be successful, I had to be more than a scorer. I had to become a leader. It's not about scoring. It's about doing what my team needs me to do.

Whatever the team needs, I'll do.

Who I am is a guy who's going to do whatever the team needs.

A lot of times, people think of selfish, and they think of offense, but you can be selfish on the defensive end of the floor, too. If you don't uphold your end of our schemes and your responsibilities within those schemes, then you're being just as selfish.

Whatever role the coaches decide for me and the team, I'm happy with that.

It's about doing what the team needs me to do, not what I want to do or what I think I can do.

I think I can come in the game, bring a lot of energy on both sides of the ball. Just try to play my part and do anything to help the team win.

I'm doing whatever my team needs me to be. Whether it's play hard, screen-and-rolling, ducking in, whatever the team needs me to do to be successful, that's all that I care about.

If that's my job to lead and if that's my job to go out there and play defense, take charges, dive into the stands, then that's what I'm going to do if that's what it takes to win basketball games.

If I have to play at center back, I'll do it without any problems.

If the team needs to score, I'm going to score. If the team needs me to rebound, I'm going to rebound. Play defense, I play defense.

I prefer safety. That's what I've played my whole life, but if the team needs me to play linebacker, then I'll do it.

One thing I am is a leader and if I'm not allowed to lead, then I have to follow. So then I want to be the best follower that I can.

If I hit a bad punt, and some guys don't make a tackle, and I have to make a tackle for them, that's my opportunity to step up for my teammates.

I'm just going to do my job, what coach wants me to do, be a defensive piece, and when needed to be a scorer, I'm going to be that.

I definitely feel like I can fulfill any role that a team needs me to fulfill.

Whatever the team takes, whatever it needs, I try to fill that role.

I do whatever the team needs to do on offense or defense, whatever it is to win. And I'm a competitor.

Ask not what the role can do for you; ask what you can do for the role.

It's nice to put your hand up and do the big things the team requires of you.

In the military, I learned that 'leadership' means raising your hand and volunteering for the tough, important assignments.

I'm used to being the main goal scorer, but I also always like to help.

When you empower people you sign up for a life of uncertainty and change.
