My job is to come out and help build a championship team.

I want to play for a championship team. I want to win a championship.

I went from almost not playing in the NBA to playing on a championship team.

In football a championship team is never bought, it's built with time and patience.

I know what a championship locker room looks like, what a championship team requires.

Before we can talk about a championship, we have to practice like a championship team.

I'm 31 years old and I want to be part of a championship team before my career is over.

My big break came at 22 years old when I joined the Mercedes Benz touring championship team.

I'm competitive. I'd love another chance to be part of a Stanley Cup championship team. That'd be awesome.

If I get an opportunity to play for a championship team, I'm going to go hunting for that. I have no loyalty.

I know I put forth an effort to try to build a championship team and to be a champion. And it hasn't worked out.

It's very tough to build a championship team. It takes time and good players, and you have to get lucky as well.

I think this can be a championship team. But we do have to take it one game at a time. You can't look at the end of the road before you get the next foot in.

I'm not trying to get back on a team, but I have tried to stay in shape just in case a team needs a point guard. A championship team. I wouldn't go to any other team.

To be a part of a championship team, I'm excited... This is the closest I've ever been to a championship. I'm looking forward to the challenge of helping this team repeat.

The support this city and our fans have shown the Grizzlies made my decision to stay in Memphis an easy one. Memphis deserves a championship team, and I am committed to that.

I'd like to think that the nature of the two teams - Boston being a championship team over the years and the Lakers, same thing - was a lot bigger than Larry Bird or Magic Johnson.

If you're lucky enough to get into a Premier League or Championship team straight away, well done to you, but I feel really grateful for the experience that I had at the lower end.

When you come off a losing season - one of the worst seasons in all of basketball - and get guys like Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett, two perennial All-Stars, we felt like we had a championship team.

Some people asked me if it was going to be a downer to come back and play on a college team after playing on a world championship team, and I don't think they understand what it is like to play here.

The heartbeat of a football team is the quarterback position and I think everyone who has any intelligence about the game understands you must have consistency at that position to be a championship team.

A guy that's going to do all of the dirty work, that guy that is willing to defend anyone and do the little things and not really care about all of that other stuff. I think every championship team needs that.

I think the biggest thing I want to learn from Kevin Garnett, with him having a ring, is how do I become a championship player? How do I see how a championship team looks like? How do I use myself to be a championship contributor?

As a sophomore, I wanted to play varsity in three sports. And I accomplished that. It was a great feat that year, and something I held special. I wanted to bring a championship team to Oceanside High School, and it happened. It was a great year that I will never forget.

I absolutely think I have the ability to be a world-class athlete and make a team. But even if I never make another world championship team or Olympic team, I think there are so many things I can say about the sport that can really excite me and bring me a lot of motivation in the day to day.

As I and the rest of my Pittsburgh Steelers teammates prepared that week in late December 1974, we knew one thing: The road to the Super Bowl in the AFC went through Oakland. To achieve your dreams as a team, you had to slay the Oakland Raiders. They were the barometer of what it took to be a championship team.
