I now have five major titles, and not many athletes can say that.

I've won a championship on every level except the NBA. It's frustrating to have not gotten that in the first two years.

And then to end up with a total of 347 wins, averaging 10 regular season wins for 33 years and the best winning percentage, and I'm very proud of this, of any professional team from 1970 to 1996.

I've put in 63 years now in the big leagues as a player, coach, manager. And now just being around these young guys, it keeps you going pretty good.

Well, I wanted to play twenty years in the major leagues. I never made it twenty though. I played nineteen.

If money titles meant anything, I'd play more tournaments. The only thing that means a lot to me is winning. If I have more wins than anybody else and win more majors than anybody else in the same year, then it's been a good year.

Every year you suit up, you play for a championship. Some years, some teams... it was very few times I think I played on that realistically had a chance.

I made my debut on October 10, 2008, so it'll be seven years to the day that I could become world champion. That's a massive night to be crowned.

Losing one grounds you a bit. I learned a lot after losing the title in 2009, learned that I was probably too intense that year, and when I didn't win, I just felt horrible.
