Teammate Quotations | Page 3

I'm very excited about that, ... He's a great player, a great teammate and a great guy.

I'll be honest with you. Sure, Chad and I are fighting for the same thing. But it would have been kind of nice after I won the 1,000 if he would have been a good teammate and shook my hand.

I remember San Rafael had a kicker who was a soccer player who just kicked for them on the weekends so the league must have allowed it and it seems natural in baseball and track. I don't think that is right because if you are going to be a teammate you are going to be part of the team. We stress punctuality and being at all the functions. Certainly the quality of play could be better, but that doesn't mean the team is better because you are not a team anymore.

I know he said he's ready to put everything behind him and he needs to be a better teammate and all that. I think he'd want to prove everybody wrong.

I put a lot of weight into being a good teammate as opposed to talent. From the minute he got here, he didn't big-time anybody. He got online. Checked out our team, knew our roster, knew our record and did a little research. I think guys respected that.

I played on an all-boy's team in the 8th grade, but they wouldn't throw me the ball even though I was on their team. One day I stole the ball from my own teammate and I made a basket. From that point on, everyone yelled "Give the ball to the girl!" I was the only girl on the whole league!

He's our teammate and our brother. We're right here for him.

He's progressed steadily through the season from the standpoint of running the basketball team, keeping the team organized offensively, making sure that we don't get into a helter-skelter type of game, especially when we're in transition. Obviously he's playing with more confidence with the success he's having, attacking the basket and putting pressure on the defense. He's a very willing passer and always willing to make the extra pass when a teammate is open.

I don't know if he gets the concept of a teammate or if he grasps that. People have tried to help him out. You've got to give him some leeway for language but at some point (you realize) he does speak more than he lets on. So at that point, you start to think he's making that choice.

Hopefully, I can become a staple, like my teammate Shaq. I'm grateful that NBA fans think so highly of my game.

He took it like a pro. He's a teammate isn't he? It's not the same, but he went out and competed the same.

I have had some bad shooting games but that doesn't stop me from getting the ball to my teammates

Yeah, I'm excited about it, my teammates are telling me to look at the basket, so that's what I'm trying to do.

I try to anticipate exactly where my teammates are going to be. Sometimes I look good. Sometimes I look bad.

I just haven't really had a chance to allow to sink in. I'm sure there is going to come a time when reality is going to hit me and I'm going to know that it's going to be a while before I help my teammates, and that's going to be hard for me.

Anytime I'm on the field and my teammates are on the field with me, I just want them to have fun.

My teammates, they put me on their backs and they wouldn't let me down.

I'd hate to be Caleb's teammate next year. Because he is going to ride his teammates and work so hard to get back here. He got a taste of this and you can tell he wants more.

I don't think any time you run into your teammate it can be too positive. But maybe it did jostle something loose.

I am very happy for DJ. As a former teammate and friend, Dennis is a good person and I am sure he will do a great job.

I am very happy for DJ, ... As a former teammate and friend, Dennis is a good person and I am sure he will do a great job.

He's not super quick, but he's a smart player. He's a great teammate for everyone.

I'll miss all my teammates. I'll miss Elvis (Andrus) and (Adrian) Beltre, Mitch (Moreland), Matt Harrison and [manager Ron] Washington. To be honest with you, I hope they go 0-162. I got friends, and I love my friends, but I hope they lose their ass.

Her ability to drive into the lane and hit an open teammate is awesome. Her assists per game are unbelievable. Some of the passes she comes up with-you can see some of our teammates are shocked that she could even find her. She takes them off-guard.

Gaylord Perry and Willie McCovey should know each other like a book. They've been ex-teammates for years now.

When you need a friend, you can always count on your teammates.

Teammates are there for each other even after the noise of the crowd is gone.

I want to be known as the best teammate ever.

I was having a conversation with one of my teammates and she asked me, "Aren't you so glad it's over? We don't have to compete anymore." I thought that was a strange comment but in that moment I realized that I was doing it for the right reasons. I wasn't looking at the Olympics to define me. I wasn't to arrive somewhere by performing well in a contest.

I'd not only be cheating myself, but I'd be cheating my teammates if I continued to make the money that I was making and wasn't producing or putting out to the level of payment that I was receiving. That's just me.

I want to thank all my teammates who scored so many runs and Joe DiMaggio, who ran down so many of my mistakes.

I'm not someone who goes around the locker room before a game trying to motivate my teammates. I don't say a lot before the game. I don't say a lot in general. It takes too much energy to do that.

It doesn't matter what any of my teammates have said about me.

I love sharing the ball with my teammates. I see a lot of things before my teammates see them.

I love the success of my teammates more than my individual achievements. I've just always cared more about that since I started playing.

Lamar is just Lamar. My teammates probably can explain that a little better than I can. If I just go out there and do what I do and be myself, it shouldn't be a problem.

You could say the post defense isn't doing very well, but maybe his teammate isn't dropping down for a double-team, or maybe the person guarding the ball isn't pressuring the ball. It's tough to pass into the post if you're pressuring the ball. There could be three or four things wrong, and usually are. You need to be accountable and help each other be accountable.

You can't have players that are exactly alike. You need a player to keep things steady and be able to set up his teammate to be the more aggressive put-away player.

These kids are just totally unselfish. They don't care to score and if you watch them when they make that pass and their teammate scores -- they've got a smile on their face. They're happy for their teammates.

A good teammate and a good friend. He's been real instrumental in helping me out. He's a real calm guy and that helps calm me down out there. He knows every position out there.

The girls play well together. And they never get down on each other. When another teammate makes an error, the other players go and encourage that team member.

The chance to play as a freshman, and with an old teammate - it just felt like the right choice.

It was a great idea from my teammate Jamal Crawford. He kept telling me to jump over Spud, so we decided to call him and he was more than willing to participate with me. I just thank God for him.

I'm definitely looking to put together a full season. I know what I'm capable of doing. I want to be the kind of player my teammates can depend on.

The great thing was my teammates really set some great screens to get me open. I just went out there and played basketball.

What type of teammates do you want to play with? Be that teammate yourself

He represented the Twins , but I think everyone in baseball felt like they were a teammate of Kirby Puckett.

I want my teammates to understand that when No. 5 says something to you, that means it's very important because he doesn't talk a lot. If I'm saying something to you, it's going to help you.

My teammates are the ultimate motivation. They mean everything to me. They are the reason I want to be at my best.

Use volleyball quotes to motivate your teammates to play hard.

If you're truly living the way Jesus lived, then you're going to get those people that disagree. But you're also going to get those people who, if you're loving them the right way and you're being a good teammate, are going to like you too.

I think we've bounced back and really been resilient. Even after a bad period, we take over and we seem like we're on a mission. That comes with leadership and experience and a lot of things.

I know the strengths and weaknesses of my teammates. I make my passing decisions accordingly

I simply want to be remembered as a great competitor and a great teammate.

I've turned down a lot of trades where I might have gotten a better player, but I wasn't totally sure of the chemistry of that new player coming in. Even though he might possess golden ability, his personality and the way he gets along with teammates might be things you just don't want to cope with.

My teammates, they keep you focused.

Spring training is for getting to know your teammates and forming a chemistry. I dont like it.

I took the game seriously. It was my profession. My teammates also took losing hard. We would all sit in the locker room after losing a big game and talk about how we could have done something differently to change the outcome

Accept a loss as a learning experience, and never point fingers at your teammates

1. Be on time. 2. Never criticize a teammate. 3. Never use profanity.

Your teammates will stretch your vision or choke your dream.

You stand up for your teammates. Your loyalty is to them. You protect them through good and bad, because they'd do the same for you.
