Ball Hog Say Shooter

American - Basketball Player
August 23, 1978 - January 26, 2020

I wouldn’t say I’m a ball hog. I’m a shooter. I don’t necessarily hog the ball, but I put them up though. I definitely much rather shoot it than pass it. That’s just how I am.

Offense at Indiana is not equal opportunity. Those players who shoot best are going to shoot most. It is important that every player know his offensive limitations. It is also important that a player know who the best shooter is on the team. When a passer has the option of passing to two players, I expect him to get the ball to the best shooter. I continually stop practice and ask players who the best shooter is and I expect them to know. It is important that you get the ball to your best shooter.

Bobby Knight

If you have an open shot, and you're a shooter, and you've put hours and hours on the practice court shooting the ball, you shoot the ball in the game. It's just that simple.

Malcolm Brogdon

I'm not a ball hog at all. It may look like it, but I'm not.

Lamar Jackson

Over the years, I pride myself on being more than just a spot-up shooter. I've gotta put the ball on the floor. I've got to post up and drive the ball from the perimeter and get to the basket - all the stuff I was actually doing that helped us win the championship.

Dirk Nowitzki

Allen Iverson is a ball hog. You will never win a championship with him on your team.

Carmelo Anthony

Don't be a hog: the only time a hog helps the community is when he dies.

Evan Esar

I've always been a high-percentage shooter, obviously because I'm dunking and laying the ball up.

JaVale McGee

My form is improved and I'm just continuing to improve. I want to come back as a shooter. A knockdown shooter.

Shaun Livingston

Kyle Korver, to me, is a shooter. JJ Redick is a shooter.

Joe Ingles

Even when I wasn't a shooter, when I was younger, I used to watch Rip Hamilton. He was one of my favorite players with the way he moved without the ball.

Devin Booker

I'm independent as a hog on ice and a hog on ice is dead, cold, well-preserved and don't need a mother'grabbin, thing.

Alice Childress

J-Lin is a phenomenal playmaker. He can pass the ball with either hand, left or right. Me, I'm more of a quick, defensive spot-up shooter.

Patrick Beverley

HOG, n. A bird remarkable for the catholicity of its appetite and serving to illustrate that of ours. Among the Mahometans and Jews, the hog is not in favor as an article of diet, but is respected for the delicacy and the melody of its voice. It is chiefly as a songster that the fowl is esteemed; the cage of him in full chorus has been known to draw tears from two persons at once. The scientific name of this dicky-bird is _Porcus Rockefelleri_. Mr. Rockefeller did not discover the hog, but it is considered his by right of resemblance.
