A Quote by Iman Shumpert

I feel like I can defend three different positions: point guards, shooting guards, and small forwards who don't want to play too much in the post.

When the guards noticed my chessboard, they all wanted to play me. And when they started to play me, they always won. The strongest among the guards taught me how to control the center. After that, the guards had no chance to defeat me.

Mohamedou Ould Slahi

Forwards are either too tall, and I'm too quick for them, or guards are too small, and I shoot over them.

Reggie Miller

Most coaches are mostly small guards because they think guards have more knowledge.

Charles Oakley

There's tons of point guards in this league. There's good point guards on bad teams.

Eric Bledsoe

Inferior guards play on the sidelines and great guards play in the middle. Isiah, Magic, Chris Paul, all get to the middle

Rick Pitino

I think a lot of L.A. is something like USC - this incredible white culture living in the midst of color, and no obvious reaction to it at all. I mean, they have guards at the gate at USC - guards at the gate of a major university! And the guards chase young black boys away - I've seen it, chasing 8-year-old boys.

Anna Deavere Smith

The point guards that I like are the ones that are playing like point guards.

Gary Payton

You can't compare my numbers to the other point guards. I'm a different kind of player - if you like it or not.

Jose Calderon

I don't think you ever want to be too settled, because once you become settled, you lose a lot of your drive. I mean, I am settled off the court; the business side of things, the papers, contracts and all of that, but there are a lot things that I need to work on, on the court, like my free-throw shooting, which has been terrible. I need to work on being more demanding in the post. My teammates are going to come to me and I just need to go out there and score in the post, which will open up things for our guards.

Andrew Bogut

I don't want security guards. I don't think security guards are particularly good for your writing.

Mark E. Smith

Then, all of a sudden, here I am in the Press Room in the White House and walking in with the guards, who handed me three little pieces of paper asking me to send pictures to the guards at the White House.

When you're playing a good team, not too many point guards want to go one on one. When you're playing a not-so-good team, teams that are fighting to make the playoffs, guys are going to want to try and get their own. It's just a different read of each team.

Patrick Beverley

We're looking at the court as X's and O's and plays that can happen, two three steps ahead of time. That's what the best point guards do. As you grow into a point guard that's what you learn, and eventually, you tend to grasp that.

Mike Conley Jr.

I felt like that was an important thing for guards to trust the big fella when they give them the ball - that you can catch and finish. I think that's real big for the trust between you and your guards.
