A Quote by Brandon Ingram

I try to take whatever the defense gives me, have a sense of urgency, know who's guarding me and pick my spots, get my teammates involved and also attack the rim.

I try to come in, try to defend, help on defense, play as hard as possible and do whatever my coach and my teammates tell me and try to listen and get better.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

I've learned to be patient. When I was younger I rushed things a lot. I tried to attack the game. Now I get teammates more involved before I try to take over.

Steve McNair

I put out on Twitter that the only thing I terrorize is the rim. People know me, my teammates know me, everybody knows me.

Enes Kanter

My work gives me a sense of purpose that I never really had before - it gives me a lot of joy, and it would be wonderful to invite other people to get involved.

Madonna Ciccone

To know how I am very important to my team on defense, how my teammates need me on defense, it means a lot to me.

Serge Ibaka

I just try to attack the rim as hard as I can. Try to get the crowd pumped up a little bit.

Zach LaVine

When I was younger, I was a guy who always wanted to get to the rim and attack the rim and just dunk the basketball.

Shawn Kemp

Once I feel like I know my teammates, know where everybody is going to be, being a basketball player will allow me to attack from anywhere on the court, get better shots and facilitate.

Zion Williamson

There's also a way that you have of being precise but also allusive, that works well for me - it's something about the open-hearted way you frame your queries. Instead of feeling daunted or discouraged, I feel excited to give whatever it is a try. This takes a lot of editorial wisdom and confidence - to know just how to get the writer to take that extra chance.

George Saunders

If you have a lawyer, sometimes you can get out of trouble. I've gotten into a lot of trouble because I didn't have a lawyer. I've also had some bad lawyers, too. But the good ones, the ones I liked, they became me. They became whatever situation I was involved in. When I felt pain, so did they. When I succeeded, so did they. They became me. They became whatever the situation was that they became involved with.

Mike Tyson

Defense all starts with the ball and the rim-protector is the last resort, the last line of defense. I take pride in that.

DeAndre Jordan

I try to take it and leave it in God's hands. I try to do what He wants me to do and come out here and perform the best I can for my teammates. That's my responsibility. This is a tough league. Outside of basketball, the lifestyle is tough - the travel. Honestly, I think that responsibility is pretty tough but I don't believe that God gives us anything we can't handle.

Jrue Holiday

You're a pick-and-pop guy sometimes. You can get rolling with what the defense gives you.

Willie Cauley-Stein

The object of defense is preservation; and since it is easier to hold ground than to take it, defense is easier than attack. But defense has a passive purpose: preservation; and attack a positive one: conquest.... If defense is the stronger form of war, yet has a negative object, it follows that it should be used only so long as weakness compels, and be abandoned as soon as we are strong enough to pursue a positive object.
