A Quote by Tim Duncan

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.

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

What I'm trying to do is play the game the right way, not force shots up. Whenever I have my opportunities, take 'em.

Kemba Walker

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

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

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

Donovan Mitchell

Now I've probably got to be more aggressive and pick up where [Marbury] left off, but I'm just going to take it how it comes. I'm not going to force it. I'm going to let the game come to me.

Nate Robinson

Where I'm from, we don't take shots over two guys. When someone is doubled, it's the next man's job to take the shot and make it.

Marc Gasol

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

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

Nikola Jokic

You take your shots when you have them, and I threw a lot of touchdowns, but I'm always going to take care of the football in the red zone.

Jared Goff

It's my job to make shots. But the big shift is that I understand it's actually my job to take these shots.

Duncan Robinson

I probably visualize myself, the shots I'm going to get in the game, how I'm going to play defense, what we have to do to stop the other team's best player, what it's going to take out of me, the whole aspect of the game.

Paul Pierce

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

Eric Bledsoe

There are a plenty of shots that I have been amazed by, but a lot of these shots are played because you have worn an iron mask. Take away the protection, and let me see if they play them. Don't forget that the past players did not have any protection.

Garfield Sobers

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.
