“It’s a win-at-all-costs, do-whatever-you-can-to-win type mentality, and that’s something that I love,” Wright said. “It’s something that the city loves. It’s something that the fan base certainly loves. ... The goal is not just set now to win one championship. It’s hey, let’s go on a run and win multiple championships.”
“That blue-collar bring your-lunch-pail-to-work mentality stuck with me my entire career,” Wright said. “I knew that I wasn’t the most talented, most gifted player on the field, but I always felt like I was the most prepared.”
