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

Most people don't know I like to block shots. I'm going to be a big point guard out there. So just come in and prove myself. Just show why I belong on this stage.

Markelle Fultz

I feel like, I go out and play hard every day and I'm going to practice every day, I'm going to block shots.

LaMarcus Aldridge

I'm able to guard multiple positions, switch and pick and rolls, guard from two to four and be able to help my defence out and rebound the basketball, block shots.

Pascal Siakam

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

Markelle Fultz

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.

Derrick Favors

I feel that I can make certain shots, tough shots, and that I can play better when things aren't going well.

Pam Shriver

Our centers spread the floor, shoot the three and block shots. We can play pick and pop.

Steve Nash

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 do all the dirty work: play defense, grab rebounds, block shots and finish strong around the rim.

Andre Drummond

When it's time to play, I'm going to come play. I'm going to play the right way. I'm going to try to help my team in all directions, blocking and catching. If I don't have the ball in my hand, I'm going to protect, block down the field. I'm going to do whatever it takes to win.

Frank Gore

I'm always trying to block shots.

Brook Lopez

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.

Adolph Rupp

I've been feeling really comfortable on clay because I have more time to set up my forehand. I can use a lot of different shots - drop shots and high balls. You can mix up a lot of shots, so it's actually more fun to play on clay.
