A Quote by Brad Stevens

I've always been a guy that if you can shoot 3s, you need to shoot 3s. It extends the defense, especially when you've got a guy that can play an undersize 5 role.

The most difficult thing with a new shot is if you go two or three games without making it, or you struggle, and people start saying, 'You can't shoot 3s,' or, 'Why do you shoot 3s?'

Serge Ibaka

I think I can always shoot 3s. I think I can shoot 3s when I'm 60.

Dirk Nowitzki

I've always been known as a pure scorer, and I've always said if I just sat outside and shot 3s and just really focused on that - coming off of screens and spot-up 3s - and shot six or seven 3s a game, I would probably be more known as one of the greatest shooters in NBA history.

Paul Pierce

I'm not an interior decorator. I just shoot 3s.

Gerald Green

I don't want to just shoot 3s. I'm not that type of player.

Gerald Green

I'm not a guy that's going to shoot 10 3s a game - I like to get to the basket. But some of those shots I do gotta take. Some of those shots I gotta let fly.

Jaylen Brown

When every guy on the team and the coaching staff is telling you, 'shoot it, shoot it,' obviously I've always known I could shoot it, but it was more of a trying to get the guys involved and being that middle man.

Joe Ingles

Instead of me going out and having eight shot attempts with six 3s, let me see if I can have just four 3s and attack the basket and try to get fouls and rebound better.

Gerald Green

When your teammates are telling you to score and telling you to shoot 3s, when you ain't shot a 3 in your whole life, that's cool. I mean, that makes you feel good. and, like, all the work you've put in, they are telling you to show what you have been working on.

Willie Cauley-Stein

I'm not the type of player to let the 3s get me down: 'Oh, I'm missing a couple of 3s. I don't want to do this no more.' No, I'm out there playing basketball, and I'm not going to let that get me down.

Rasheed Wallace

I love Michael Anthony. We met on set for a shoot and ever since then he has been my guy. We don't do too much conceptualizing - it's usually just a vibe we are feeling based on the wardrobe or mood of the shoot, and we go from there.

Tinashe

You shoot another guy—well, okay, this is Baltimore. You shoot three guys, it’s time to admit you have a problem.

David Simon

When you're a role guy, there are games when you're not going to shoot that much.

Jared Dudley

I'm the guy who will persist in his path. I'm the guy who will make you laugh. I'm the guy who strives to be open. I'm the guy who's been heartbroken. I'm the guy who has been on his own, and I'm the guy who's felt alone. I'm the guy who holds your hand, and I'm the guy who will stand up and be a man. I'm the guy who tries to make things better. I'm the guy who's the whitest half Cuban ever. I'm the guy who's lost more than he's won. I'm the guy who's turn, but never spun. I'm the guy you couldn't see. I'm that guy, and that guy is me.
