If you shoot with mechanics where you've got your knees bending in all the way, you're not using your hips properly, you get all of this tendinitis and knee pain.

You don't ever want to be a mechanical basketball player, but as far as technique and things, I like to have certain check points in my shot, certain things that I can count on and think about. It kind of helps me to be consistent.

I watched the Bulls growing up. To be part of an organization like that is great.

I've been shooting my whole life. I don't remember a team where I wasn't playing basketball. It's something I really enjoy, and I shoot for hours at a time.

The mental side of sports, it's huge. It's such a massive part of the game.

If you want to be a great team, you've got to be able to play 48 minutes.

You can visualize, and you can try to trick yourself into thinking a certain way. There's all kinds of things you can do to try to get in the right spot mentally. But at the end of the day, to have real confidence, you've got to be doing good at your craft.

Chicago is an amazing place for sports.

If the team is scoring, and I'm on the court, that's as good as me scoring.

A player senses when a coach loses confidence in him. That, more than anything, can throw a player.

LeBron carries a certain weight. You feel him all the time. On the court, off the court, in the organization. I don't say 'weight' in a bad way, but his presence is always felt. He is striving for greatness at all times. Because he's such a magnetic personality and such an incredible basketball player, people follow him.

I've always tried to set my standards high on a daily basis.

I don't shoot shots just to shoot shots. I'm always working in a rhythm, working on mechanics. I've got a checklist of the things I need to do with my form, my legs, my arms, all of my mechanics.

To have a superstar - he's Allen Iverson - he really took me under his wing and really forced me to shoot the ball and forced me to make plays, and to have him do that for me - and the way he was always in my ear telling me to shoot the ball and supporting me - it's a big deal.

That is what shooting is. There is no secret sauce, man. You've got to find mechanics that you can make the same every time, and you've got to do it over and over again, and you can't just shoot for rhythm. You've got to understand what you are doing. You have to focus on those details every day.

It's easy on teams when you have got superstars. I mean, they're really good. And you give them the ball, and you say, 'Make a play.'

I'll see some random guy and really like how he's locking his wrist when he's shooting or how a guy is catching the ball. It can be a little reminder that that's something I have to think about today.

Diving is cool to watch. Springboard or platform - it doesn't matter.

Well, the LeBron James of the world don't come around very often. That's a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing.

If I see something in somebody, if it's something similar in my shot, I feel like it's the same type of thing in life. People who tell you what to do all the time or have all the answers for you, it's like, 'OK, whatever.' But if you've gone through something in life, you can speak to something a little more.

I only try to talk to people about things I really do use in my shot. If I see something similar and something that will help them, then you try to come to them and say, 'I think I might have something for you. Think about it if you like it.' If they do, and they want to keep talking about it, then I will.

My parents didn't pay for college because we all got scholarships.

I loved being 36.

The playoffs are a chess match, with adjustments every game.

It's easy to draw up isolation basketball - it's not easy to draw up great motion offense with passing and cutting.

I do remember my first 3-point attempt. I missed it.

I love thinking about mechanics and having your mind agree with the mechanics. Sometimes you can shoot it correctly, but your mind doesn't think that it's right. So it's like, how do you get your mind to trust that that's the right way to shoot it.

In Atlanta, we ran a motion offense, so, obviously, I was on the move a lot.

Shooting threes is always going to be what I do best.

I've never been a basketball prodigy. I've always had to work, earn my way. And that's the way I want it to be.

I never casually shoot shots, ever. I shoot the same way every time. I shoot the same shots that I'd shoot during the game.

You have to buy into what the team is doing and get lost in that process. When you make it about yourself, that's when you can start to press a little bit.

Off-seasons hurt when you lose the last game.

It's hard to play basketball without a point guard - it's an important position.

Every moment is big in the playoffs.

Moments can change games; moments can create a run.

Most guys are either big talkers or big workers.

As a shooter, the one thing you want to be is consistent.

You don't want to be a streaky shooter.

Shooting is all about rhythm and confidence, and sometimes those are the last things that get there.

I love it when the best team beats the best players.

I've played for some really good coaches, been on some really good teams. I learned a lot.

When I came into the NBA, coaches wanted you to shoot a midrange shot or two before you shot your 3 - you know, to get an 'easy one' first.

You're always trying to get better. You're always tinkering. You're always learning new things.

Teams are trying to get the advantage over the other team by what kind of reads we can get, how can we measure guys if they're tired - all these things.

Anytime something is a little new and a little fresh, it's going to be critiqued.

There are definitely times during a game when you need someone to step up and make a play.

I've been on some really good teams.

When I first came to Atlanta, I did not want to come here; I got traded here.

Not everyone gets to have one of the few super-dominant, all-pro, superstars in this league, and so playing with the pass and playing with space and playing quick is a really good backup.
