I am one of the last true centers in the NBA, and it's a title that I enjoy to hold.
It's very hard to establish an economy of trustworthiness. The key is continuing to innovate and to keep your customers through innovation, because the customers can leave. But once you are a dominant player that continues to innovate and provide a good deal, customers will stay with you.
We can argue about major championships and whether Tiger will ever surpass Jack's 18 majors, but what can't be argued is this: Tiger Woods is the most dominant, most skilled player we've ever seen.
Shaq was a great physical specimen. I mean, 7 foot, 350 pounds. There wasn't anybody like him.
He was a terrific guy. It is a great loss to the sports world. Wilt Chamberlain had a special place in basketball history and he will be missed. We had many battles with Wilt. He was a fun guy to be around; he was a 'Gentle Giant.'
I think I just need more time to refine my skills, and I can be a dominant pass rusher.
Lacking a dominant big man is a tall order.
Usually when you play a team, you want to focus on one line. Pittsburgh is the only team where you have to focus on one player [Mario Lemieux]. When he's coming toward you, all you see is him.
Ivan Lendl was the best player I ever played. He was the first guy to bring the game to more of a power level and you could know that if he played really well you could get blown off court and that wouldn't happen against John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors or even Bjorn Borg or Guillermo Vilas.
Few players have cast a spell across the game like Yao Ming, before or since.
Any guard would love playing with a great big man, one who rebounds, blocks shots, and scores.
I expect [Donald] Trump to do what he's done very successfully, which is, whether you like him or not, he will be the dominant player .
Tim Duncan was a marvelous player. He played the game from the four, the five position. He was one of the unique players, like a Michael Jordan, who could get to spaces on the floor you that you couldn't do anything about.
All signs point to there being many virtual and augmented reality competitors, and not just a single, dominant company.
A LeBron James team is never desperate.
Roger [Federer], he brought tennis... one level higher. Normally he toys with everybody. With all respect to other players, he does whatever he wants on the court against them. It's incredible what kind of game he can play.
I definitely want to be, long time down the road when my career ends, whenever somebody mentions a top-five center or top-five power forward, they always got to mention my name. That's how I want to be remembered.
Kobe is Kobe. He is one of the best to ever play this game. Given the opportunity, he can embarrass you.
Everybody always asked why I wanted to be an offensive lineman. I told them that I had 11 different people I can hit on every single play, while everyone else is chasing one person. I prided myself on being an extremely physical and dominant player.
I've never seen a player that can dominate a game the way LeBron James can. He don't always have to score. He makes plays for other guys. But when the game is on the line, and you need a shot to be made, he's going to make that play.
Somebody can always use me. They can always use a dominant defensive player.
When you play with Kobe Bryant, the ball is gonna be with him most of the time, which is understandable.
Wilt Chamberlain had a great deal to do with the success of the NBA. His dominance, power, demeanor and the rivalry with Bill Russell says it all. He will be sorely missed by myself and everyone in the basketball community. Wilt was a great performer and a great athlete.
When you have a dominant big man, that changes the aspects of the game.
The problem with trading dominant players of that size is you never get in return what you've bargained away.
