“I play to win, whether during practice or a real game.”

“Why you think I play this game? I play to win. Competition is the thing. I want to play on a winning team. I don't want to play for sixth place. I like to play for all the marbles, where every game means something. I like to play for real, not for fun.”

“Through your thoughts, you create your own games, and you win your own games because perhaps you have forgotten how to play the real game. What is the real game? It is the game in which the heart is entertained, the game in which you are entertained. It is the game that you will win.”

“A finite game is played for the purpose of winning, an infinite game for the purpose of continuing the play.”

“Whether it's a friendly match, or for points, or a final, or any game - I play the same. I'm always trying to be my best, first for my team, for myself, for the fans, and to try and win.”

“I never cheat. I practice Gamesmanship - the art of winning games without actually cheating.”

“The theory and practice of gamesmanship; or, The art of winning games without actually cheating.”

“I'm afraid that sometimes you'll play lonely games too. Games you can't win 'cause you'll play against you.”

“Never stay to think about how to win the game, start playing.”

“I played this game to win a championship. I am a champion, and I think The Bus’ last stop is here in Detroit.”
