I'm the type of player, I want to win a game.
My favorite moment was in Game 6 when Bill Walton tapped a missed Sixers shot toward the backcourt and Johnny Davis ran it down as the clock expired. We were NBA champions!
Nobody ever won a pennant without a star shortstop.
With the game on the line. I want the ball in my hands.
There is nothing like Ruth ever existed in this game of baseball. I remember we were playing the White Sox in Boston in 1919, and he hit a home run off Lefty Williams over the left-field fence in the ninth inning and won the game. It was majestic. It soared.
In the closing seconds of every game, I want the ball in my hands for the last shot - not in anybody else's, not in anybody else's in the world.
They could never beat me in Springfield. I loved that old ballpark. If I could have pitched there all my career, I'd be a 300-game winner.
You want to be the team that is on the field when the last out is made on the winning side. That's obviously the holy grail in the game that I play, and that's what every player strives for.
That is the type of player I think I am, and the type of player I want to be - a big-play guy.
People are always surprised to find this out, but the songs that we write, such as 'Winner of a Losing Game' and things like that, tend to be more country than the other stuff that we cut from outside writers.
I'm the type of person where, at the end of the game, if there's 10 seconds left, and you need to get somebody the ball, and you're behind by one, give me the ball. Get me the ball every single time.
I've hit big shots in real games. I love the moment. I cherish the moment.
It's not about guys getting minutes or scoring 20 points or getting playing time. To me, it's about if you've got to make one 3-pointer to win that championship, we need you to make that one 3-pointer. Whatever it takes.
I'll dive on loose balls. I'll get the winning rebound, hit the winning shot. I'll do whatever it takes to win a game.
I want it every game at the end. If you know anything about me, I want the ball at the end. I don't mind taking the shot.
My goal against Italy in the World Cup qualifier was probably my most memorable: we had to go to Italy and had to win, or we wouldn't go to the World Cup, and I scored in stoppage time.
