You want to score in every game and to fight hard.
Preparation is very important. The pitcher is going to do his job and prepare for you, so you as a hitter must do the same. I always watch videotape of pitchers before the game and even sometimes during.
When you're playing the best player in the world, you've got to play well.
I'm used to having the ball, man. So, not really having the ball in my hands... it's just me trying to find different ways to impact the game.
It's easy to become angry, but when you get better, you channel your energy into the game.
When it comes down to playoff basketball, it's attention to detail.
I think my game isn't very flashy, but the test of time for the position of quarterback is how fast can you get the ball out of your hands to the right guy? And I think I do that better than everyone else.
If I have the ball in my hands, I'll make a play. If don't, I'll try to get in position to make a play. I think that's what it comes down to.
Training-wise, you have to work on your weaknesses, preparing yourself properly for the game, on and off the field.
How do you beat Bobby Fischer? You play him at any game but chess. I try to stay in games where I have an edge.
That's all it takes to get people to win football games for you.
It's all about winning. Stats really don't matter, I mean, guys have great series and all that, and people take notice and take their place in history with those stats and all that stuff. But at the end of the day, it's all about winning and what you can do to help your team get to that point.
You never stop learning from this game. That's the crazy thing.
It is impossible to play the best of nines and expect the matches to finish on time.
As a wide receiver, you don't want to feel that the quarterback is only going to throw you the ball if you're wide open.
Let me tell you what it is like playing against Messi. You are up against a footballer who can take the ball either side of you, and you have no idea which side that might be from any hint about his body-shape.
Defense to me is the key to playing baseball.
The game is about making the right decisions.
This obligation to move can be a burden to a player without strategic vision.
I know that I can play in the middle, on the right, or up front.
Games are all about taking risks.
I'm able to see things and react certain ways, I try to slither through there and try to make a play.
If I get a chance, high pick and roll more. I want some triple doubles. I've got to get my handle right so I can pass and get it to guys where they can make shots.
If it's a card game, or it's a preseason game, or it's a regular season game, I just go out there to try to win. For me, that's all I know how to do it and I'll never change that.
If you can keep getting better, we can set ourselves better standards every game.
