THOUGHTS ON BEING A TEAMMATE







Everybody judges players differently. I judge a player by what he does for his team and not what he does for himself. The name of the game is self-sacrifice.”

—Billy Martin, New York Yankees























Individual commitment to a group effort—that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.”

—Vince Lombardi, Green Bay Packers











I don’t get a big charge out of being the leading scorer. The object of competing is winning. I just try to do what has to be done for us to win. That might be anything at any time—defense, rebounding, passing. I get satisfaction out of being a team player.”

—Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Los Angeles Lakers
