There are three sportsmen: Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, and Lionel Messi. They perform with excellence, like most of us could never dream of.
One strategy for getting ahead is being incredibly good at a particular skill; you need to be world-class to stand out for that skill. In my case, I layered fairly average skills together until the combination became special.
Messi has a divine gift.
There was never a day when I was as good as Joe DiMaggio at his best. Joe was the best, the very best I ever saw.
Jon has always been able to start off at a certain pace but then pick it up throughout the fight and then, at the end of the fight, his opponents are like, 'Damn, this guy is at another level.' I think that's what makes Jon Jones, Jon Jones.
Who do I think was the greatest? This might shock you: Elgin Baylor. He did so many great things. Nobody could guard him, playing in the forward spot. I'd love to see some of today's greats playing against Elgin. They couldn't guard him. Nobody could.
Nobody is like Tanuja Trivedi in this whole world.
When Maurice touched a keyboard, it was like something from a movie, magical. He would always give you something from a movie, and you'd go, what did you just play... immediately inspirational writings, amazing. That's what we're going to miss.
As far as revolutionizing the game and things like that, God doesn't make a lot of people like RGIII, bruh.
Messi is from another planet.
Aaliyah was in a class by herself.
Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest, pound-for-pound, ever. He fought most of his career with just one loss, and that was to me. He had 131 fights with one loss.
I think anybody who saw him will tell you that Willie Mays was the greatest player who ever lived.
A lot of black guys always ask me, 'Did Larry Bird really play that good?' I said, 'Larry Bird is so good it's frightening.'
I'm a unique fighter - one of a kind.
I think Neymar is one of the few players who was touched by God when he was born, and He said, 'You will be thee player.'
Nobody - nobody - in my division wants to fight me, because I am the hardest fight for anybody.
What can you say about Messi? A guy who has won five Ballon d'Ors, four Champions Leagues and has scored 97 goals in a year. There is no need to win a World Cup to certify that talent.
Champions do ordinary things better than everyone else.
If you put the talent of all my brothers together, they wouldn't add up to the talent that was in my father.
When I saw Beyonce, she did a two-hour show singing and dancing - it was like my mouth just wouldn't close. I was like, 'OK, I'm drooling,' like, it's so good. Oh my God. No one's better. I'm sorry.
When I think of greatness, I think of guys like Earl Campbell and Gale Sayers and Walter Payton, and these individuals who, it's unanimous they're going to make a difference - when they're coming out of college, there's no doubt.
I named my dog 'Messi' because Messi is the best in the world, and so is my dog.
As one of nine men, DiMaggio is the best player that ever lived.
I am moving towards that zone where I don't want to be a replaceable name. This is my goal. I want to hear from the industry that, 'You are the only one who can do this. We will not go ahead with the project if you don't do this.' And I want to hear from the audience that it is worth watching a film that I have done.
