Joel Embiid

When I look at myself, I'm not a big man - I'm a guard. I can do everything on the basketball court. You can name it - pass, post up, shoot the ball, bring the ball up, being a playmaker - so I'm excited to break that stereotype.

Cameroonian Athlete

Peyton Hillis

I kind of like to think I can do everything decently well. It's just putting me in position to be a playmaker, blocking, special teams, no matter what it may be. Whenever I go out there, I'm going to do my best.

American Athlete

Zion Williamson

People aren't used to guarding this kind of size and I'm able to add a little finesse to my game so it has flavor and I'm a playmaker so I can create for my teammates and when I have to finish I'm gonna finish.

American Basketball Player

Rodney Hood

When I'm in the pick-and-roll, I'm looking to be a playmaker first and to score second. When I'm playing off the ball and I catch the ball, I'm looking to be a scorer first and a playmaker second.

Patrick Beverley

J-Lin is a phenomenal playmaker. He can pass the ball with either hand, left or right. Me, I'm more of a quick, defensive spot-up shooter.

Trey Burke

I definitely feel like I'm a really good playmaker, a really smart point guard that can lead his team and win.

Andrea Pirlo

There are many talented midfielders but not the kind of playmaker I am.

Italian Athlete

Tavon Austin

At the end of the day, I'm a playmaker. That's how I describe myself.

Sport Specific

Though a playmaker can score, their role is more about creating scoring opportunities for others.

Not Always Scoring

A playmaker is often viewed as a leader on the field for their vision and decision-making skills.
