I think my wingspan helps me out on defense, because I can cover a little more ground and block a few more shots.

LaMarcus Aldridge

I've been learning when to block shots against who I'm playing. I'm not just going to leave a shooter to go block shots.

Serge Ibaka

When you play guard, you're not going to block a lot of shots. Inside, you're going to block shots.

Oscar Robertson

On dispersive ground, therefore, fight not. On facile ground, halt not. On contentious ground, attack not. On open ground, do not try to block the enemy's way. On the ground of intersecting highways, join hands with your allies. On serious ground, gather in plunder. In difficult ground, keep steadily on the march. On hemmed-in ground, resort to stratagem. On desperate ground, fight.

Sun Tzu

I can rebound, block shots, push the ball - basically, anything you need from a guard. Off the court, I'm humble.

Markelle Fultz

For me, it's just finding ways to create shots. I feel like if I got a shot off, it has a good chance of going in. So it's finding ways of creating different shots. Being smart. I watch film a lot, and different tricks that I can do to get my shot off the ball and creating ways to get shots off of pick-and-rolls or one-on-one situations like that.

Seth Curry

You don't have to hit perfect shots all the time here. The variety of shots you get to play, the shots you sometimes have to hit along the ground, it's just a lot of fun to me.

David Duval

I think the thing that helps you get to the next level is being able to affect the game in different ways. And that's me getting my teammates shots instead of me just coming off pin-downs.

Avery Bradley

You have games when you miss shots and when you make shots. But knowing you're here for a reason and you're an NBA basketballer helps.

Patty Mills

Being out there, I know how to play the game and know my spots. Just get rebounds, block shots, defend.

DeAndre Jordan

You got to have a lot of mass to be able to produce a lot of ground reaction force, to function off of the ground, to press off of the ground.

Bryson DeChambeau

If a guy is shooting a shot in the corner 70 percent of the missed shots usually come off that other side and 30 percent hits off the front rim so just playing the percentages and kind of studying your teammates' shots throughout the course of the game.

Tristan Thompson

I'm always trying to block shots.

Brook Lopez

I never went to acting school, so improv was my training. Just being quick on your feet helps in everyday life.

Ben Schwartz

In the past years, I got in a lot of foul trouble because I was out of position, or because I was just too aggressive. I was trying to block too many shots. It's really just learning when to take a chance at blocking shots, and to get to spots early.
