“I HAVE NEVER BEEN A LOSER”
Alperen Şengün, who made a statement to ESPN the other day, made remarkable statements about the winning mentality.
Growing up, I was always a ‘winning’ player. I had many championships. They were small cups, but I was winning them all. I’ve never been a ‘loser’. I just want to win here too. I can do anything to win. The coaching staff, everyone… We all just want to win.
ALL-STAR QUOTES
When you fight and do your best on the field, this comes along with it. Of course, it would be exciting to play with the biggest stars I watched when I was little.
I have never been a defensive player at any point in my career. I was always scoring. But if you want to be an All-Star, if you want other achievements, you have to do everything.
“MY COACHES WERE CONSTANTLY SCURRING”
Where I grew up, all the coaches were tough. I was in a small city and my coaches were constantly arguing and swearing. That’s how I grew up, and that’s how Ime is now too. So is Fred. Fred is a player but he can coach on the field. They just want us to learn and get better. They don’t want anything else.
