A winning player is nothing more than a player on a winning team. A losing player is a guy who played on a losing team that year.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In our sport, there's only two people, so if you're not winning, then you're losing.
I know what it's like to win things. You need a certain type of player with a determination to win. You see it in the eyes.
You must never be satisfied with losing. You must get angry, terribly angry, about losing. But the mark of the good loser is that he takes his anger out on himself and not his victorious opponents or on his teammates.
Most ball games are lost, not won.
I'm sure a lot of players say it, but winning is almost so you don't lose. The thrill of winning is not as great as the pain of losing.
I just think winners win. And guys who won all the way through high school and college, the best player at every level, they have a way of making things happen and winning games.
You can lose when you outscore somebody in a game. And you can win when you're outscored.
Guys who might not be superstars but because of their hustle, because of the little things they do, these are the guys who can really mean the difference between winning and losing.
Winning is something you've dreamed about and hoped for, so that when you get there it's no big deal. But if you lose, you're gutted, and the gutted sense just goes on, and I know what that's like, because I've been having that gutted feeling since 1979.
A game is not won until it is lost.
