The Mavericks and I have mutually agreed that it's in the best interest of both parties for me to step away from the team.
Where ever the Mavericks are today, we owe it to Michael Finley. He was the one guy who stayed when we were a terrible team. He stayed and fought the fight.
I'm lucky to play with Messi for the national team; I've learned many things. I can pick up a lot from him in terms of how he reads the play, how he thinks, how he sees the movement of his teammates. This will help me a lot for the future.
Mario Mandzukic works so hard for his team. He's not only a No. 9 but also runs behind the defenders and drops into midfield.
I used to like to see The Millionaires versus The Hulkamaniacs. That team versus team atmosphere where you have 10 guys or 8 guys, and it comes down to 3-on-1 - that got exciting for me.
Milwaukee is a small-market team, but I love it.
I'm a really competitive guy. I'm a really stubborn guy. That's what makes me want to take Milwaukee to the top, make Milwaukee a big market team. That's a goal I've set for myself. Hopefully, one day I can achieve it.
Coaches have told me I can help the team much more if I don't talk, if I don't moan.
The best, most successful managers in the modern era are those who can keep a player happy even if he is not in the team. Given the size of the squads and the use of rotation nowadays, that's tougher than it's ever been.
In every team there are going to be moments of vulnerability.
I kick off every monthly team meeting with 'core value stories' - team members stand up and recognize how another team member exemplified a core value.
Conte is the manager who most 'bet' on me without even ever having had me in his team. I feel indebted to him because he's the coach that most trusted in me, most wanted me.
Keep the team as small as possible. Having been on several of these mega-projects, they seem to grow magically. People are attracted to the project like moths to a flame.
When you play for Bayern Munich and you are important for the team, there's no better club out there.
I'm a two-time Olympian, but on the front and back end of both of those were two Olympics where I narrowly missed making the team.
We just want to win the natty - the national championship - and that's starts with a team, not just one person.
When I started to play football, when I was around 15, 16, I remember the players that played on the national team and noticed that it was only typically Swedish guys.
Diouf was one of the best players in the whole history of Senegal. He did a lot for the national team, and everybody knows and respects him for that.
I think every national team has the same possibilities to win the World Cup.
I don't want to get to a point where I consider the national team a club team.
