I keep working hard day in and day out. When I get a chance to play, I try to produce the best I can.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
I appreciated all the support and love that I had from not only BYU fans and people from Utah, but all over the country.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
I loved my time at BYU. It was an unbelievable experience with the fans, and the people that I have met, I have lifelong relationships still.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
NBA teams like to see guys who can help a team win a game in a lot of fashions.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
I've learned to go out and focus on what I can control, like how hard I work and my attitude and whether I'm happy or not. I've really tried to focus on those things.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
There are so many things that you have no control over: whether you play or not, whether you get traded or not, or whether you get waived or not.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
Once you get out there and start playing basketball, whether the NBA or college or whatever arena you are playing in or who you are playing in front of, the juices start going, and you want to just go out there and play to the best of your abilities.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
There are certain times when I was younger, I was occasionally more passive.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
I know what it takes to win, and I've helped lead teams to winning cultures.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
I like to get the ball in transition and go and everything, but I'm also not as dependent on having the ball all the time as I was maybe in college and when I first got to the NBA.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
I've always been pretty confident in my abilities to play the game and that if I get an opportunity to play consistently and be a part of team, then I feel like I've always been able to produce.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
It's hard to speculate, but it was tough when coach Paul Westphal drafted me and wanted me there and then got fired two weeks into my rookie year.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
A lot of NBA guys translate well when going to China because they're expected to score the basketball, while sometimes in Europe, you've got to fit into a system and not get as many opportunities to be ball dominant.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
I've really grown as a player, becoming versatile, able to do multiple things offensively.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
My senior year was crazy, and that summer was definitely life-changing and a lot different than what I was used to, and with that comes a lot of critique.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
I realize I have to continue to work on defense. I think a lot of people have to work on defense.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
I think it's the hardest part for about 80 percent of the guys in the NBA. That's just the way it is in the NBA, unless you're a mega superstar. You're just going to play wherever you go. You try to find the right fit and the right team with the right system and the right coach at the right time.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
It's a game that I love and I want to continue to play. I know that I'll have a job somewhere. You've just got to go out there and put your best foot forward.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
There's a lot of guys in the NBA; it's about finding the right fit, a coach that has some trust in you that will play you night in and night out, consistently. Trying to find a right fit is the tough part.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
Everybody wants to be in the NBA. That's the whole goal. I'm no different than that.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
You've just got to stay grounded, keep your head down, keep pushing and, when someone does call and wants you, be ready for your opportunity.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
Basketball is great and so much fun, and it has taken me to so many places. I've been in the public eye a lot, and it has given me so many great experiences but hasn't changed the person I am.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
People have heard about me, but they haven't heard about things my brother and my parents have gone through, and stories about growing up and living a dream come true.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
I can play off the ball some, and that's fine with me as long as I can be out on the floor. But I am definitely more natural as a point guard than I am as a two guard.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
You want to play against the best - at least I do. I want to go out there and compete against the best players.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
The NBA is always looking for tough kids who aren't afraid of the moment or the guy they're playing against.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
As I've grown older, my testimony has grown a lot, and a lot of it really has to do with my dad. He's been a good example to me. That's really where my testimony started, in just seeing how spiritual and what a good guy he is.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
Sometimes you don't have great days. You're going to have ups, and you're going to have downs. And when you have the downs, it's awesome to be able to come home to a wife that's extremely supportive and a dog that loves you no matter what.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
I had a goal in mind and a dream, and I worked as hard as I possibly could and was eventually able to make it. And I think that's because I had that focus and that drive and never thought that I was going to fail.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
That's what it's all about, going out and being able to help in the community and help people around you. That's going to carry far longer than basketball ever will.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
It's hard to play with any kind of confidence when you feel like if you miss one shot, if you make one mistake, you're getting pulled.
Quote by -Jimmer Fredette
A lot of people say they're competitive, and they think that means they scream and yell when they lose. I'm not like that. I don't scream and yell. I just win. At anything I do, I win.
