Tattoos are a thing I've never really planned out. They just kind of happen spontaneously, on a whim. It's kind of like curating a watch collection, it just kind of happens. I like it to happen organically.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
I'm no dummy. So much of the NBA is just fit and situation, and I always say this, for 85 to 90 percent of the league, your performance is often dictated by your situation and your coaches.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
In terms of my career, it's been a lot of incremental improvement slowly over time.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
I feel like every guy has a job to do on the defensive end, and that job can change night to night. My biggest thing is, I try to do my job, and compete.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
I feel so fortunate to have great coaching. Coaches that have taught me great habits and taught me great things about basketball and life, but I've always played for coaches who have held me accountable and that's made me a better player and person.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
I feel like when I look back at my career I've always done better and I've always been happier when there's more expectation and more pressure.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
Obviously, you look at a situation and you say, 'What do I need to do to fit in?' I looked at the Clippers and said, 'I really need to work on my dunk shots.'
Quote by -J. J. Redick
I didn't like the way I shot the ball in Milwaukee, so I worked really hard on my shooting - threes off the move and off the catch. And also continued to work on my ball-handling and my in-between game - my runners and floaters.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
I don't care about starting or coming off the bench or anything like that. To me, whatever role I'm in I'm going to try to help us win.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
I think anytime you have expectations for your team and for yourself and you have goals that you want to accomplish you can't overlook the small stuff and the baby steps.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
There's certain points in the season - I think players go through it and teams go through it - where you just have stretches and you're stuck in a rut or you feel like nothing's going right. You just got to keep grinding, and eventually it'll turn.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
Our job collectively, players and coaches, is to figure out a way to play that we can put ourselves in a position to win.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
I think anytime you have any sort of injury, you know I've come back from a pulled hamstring in college one time, foot injuries. The movement that causes the initial jolt of pain you always kind of are tentative when you have to make that movement, especially as you kind of build back up.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
As I finished up my time at Duke, I certainly wasn't a 'foodie' but I was learning to enjoy the finer things in the culinary world.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
When I was at Duke, I finally had an avocado - accidentally - on a turkey sandwich. I was hooked. Next thing I know, I couldn't get enough guacamole.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
I was never a very adventurous eater growing up, despite the fact that my mother is a nutritionist and my parents have always had a garden in our yard.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
To use a phrase that I don't often use, the NBA is very much a woke league. It's at the forefront of a lot of things - training, fashion, food, diet.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
Basketball is like the one game I can't figure out when it comes to videogames.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
I played videogames growing up, but my parents really monitored how much I was playing.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
I like to write, I like to reflect, and not just poetry, I like to write my thoughts down. I think it's good for people who are more introspective, and it helps me get a better understanding of myself.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
Kobe never got complacent. He always wanted more. And I think, ultimately, that's going to be his legacy.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
I watch video now of me in college, and I just think, What are you doing, man?
Quote by -J. J. Redick
There needs to be a dialogue between coaches, fans, players and administrators to promote positivity in the stands.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
My last four years in Orlando, I was a really good player but I wasn't a full-time starter.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
When I come to the arena, my mind is on basketball, not thinking I'm walking a runway.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
I would much rather invest in stocks, bonds, private equity and hedge funds than watches.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
Player movement is good, and guys should be able to choose where they want to play.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
I think my confidence and competitiveness - that will - comes from my mother. I always knew my mom loved me, and she always made me feel like I was - I don't want to say 'special' - but that I was capable of doing things. Before I ever shot a basketball or before I ever threw a baseball, I had confidence, and that was from my mother.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
You want your kids to grow up in a world that's better than the one you grew up in. I'm not talking about my own family's wealth. I'm talking about the actual world and all the issues that we have.
Quote by -J. J. Redick
As you progress as a basketball player, the world around you becomes more and more chaotic. There's more talent, there are more distractions - and these are all factors that create a lack of control. By having a routine, by having habits that I can fall back on, it's my way of enacting control. It's the only thing I can control.
