I've played with a couple good shooters, but I've never been on a team where there's been three, four, five, six good shooters. And I've always thought that nothing gets you open more than being surrounded by good shooters.

Kyle Korver

All truly great shooters - Dale Ellis, Larry Bird, Craig Hodges, Chris Mullin - we always believed that we were the best shooters in the world.

Reggie Miller

As long as I can take open shots or good shots, I'm going to take it.

Nikola Jokic

A lot of people say I'm reckless and I take too many shots. I take shots on the forehead. There's nothing wrong with that. It puts me in punching range.

Justin Gaethje

Sometimes those shots I take won't go in but I'm going to continue to take the same shots.

Donovan Mitchell

I don't take any type of shots. I feel like I take the shots that are necessary and open.

Eric Bledsoe

You want to take shots you practice thousands and thousands of times. You want to take those same shots in games. The easier you can find those shots, the better.

Gordon Hayward

I'm not better when I force shots. I'm going to take them as they come. They are really sagging in there, trying to take me out of the game. It's my job to find guys. I want to be aggressive and take my shots, but I can't force them.

Tim Duncan

They're professionals at this in Russia, so no matter how many Jell-O shots or Jager shooters you might have downed at college mixers, no matter how good a drinker you might think you are, don't forget that the Russians - any Russian - can drink you under the table.

Anthony Bourdain

There's times where I could take all the shots every time I touch the ball, but that's not me. I just play a team game and just take open shots.

Rasheed Wallace

I take the opportunity 3s, and I think I'm one of the better shooters.

Paul Pierce

I try to do a good job of contesting shots and blocking shots and altering shots, but I've got to do a better job of doing more.

Roy Hibbert

I'm not afraid to take big shots. I'm not afraid to take any type of shots.

Gerald Green

You never make any of the shots you never take. 87% of the ones you do take, you'll miss too. I make 110% of my shots.

Larry Bird

I believe that good defense embodies seven cardinal principle: reduce the number of your opponent's shots; force your opponent into low percentage shots; control everything within 18 feet; eliminate second shots; no easy baskets; point the ball on all long shots; and prevent the ball from going into the pivot man.
