A Quote by Trevor Ariza

It took for me to get to the Lakers and for my teammates to help me get through that mental block that I had. Anytime I was open, anytime it even looked like I might be open, they always told me, 'Shoot the ball. We don't care if it goes in or if you don't make it. Just shoot it.'

Trevor Ariza

My teammates tell me to shoot the ball when I'm open. I feel like I'm open most of the time, so I shoot it.

J. R. Smith

To have a superstar - he's Allen Iverson - he really took me under his wing and really forced me to shoot the ball and forced me to make plays, and to have him do that for me - and the way he was always in my ear telling me to shoot the ball and supporting me - it's a big deal.

Kyle Korver

I've always been open. My whole life. Sometimes I'll get more closed, I'll get even. It's more just comfortability for me. That's where I feel comfortable, then I was always told it doesn't matter where you stand as long as you get in a position to get ready to hit the ball.

Anthony Rendon

Sports formed me. I was always decently skilled but lacked size, so I had to resort to using my skill versus my power. I strategically play golf because that's all I can do. It's the same on the basketball court. I try to get open and shoot it. Or I use the open space on the soccer field.

Zach Johnson

I was supposed to take the ball out. I told coach, 'There's no way I'm taking the ball out, unless I can shoot it over the backboard and it goes in. I told him, 'Have somebody else take the ball out, give me the ball, and everybody get out of the way.'

LeBron James

For me, it's never really been a road block for me to shoot, it's just a matter of me continuing to shoot and shooting with confidence.

John Collins

Find the open guy. If you're open shoot the ball. Just try to make it as easy as possible.

Jose Calderon

My teammates give me a hard time about that all the time, 'Hey, if you catch the ball and get in an open field, I want you to long jump from the 10 into the end zone.'... I might make it happen one of these days.

Marquise Goodwin

I've always been able to shoot the ball, so it's just about continuing to work on your shot and shoot the ball. That's the main thing. Got to get those shots up.

Zach LaVine

They were so clever finding ways to get me the ball. They had to do more than just give up open shots. They had to avoid fouls and pass me the ball in traffic.

Wilt Chamberlain

My main goal is to help the team as much as possible anyway I can. If they need me to shoot the three, I'll shoot the three. If they need me to run the floor and block shots, I'll do that also.

JaVale McGee

Anytime I get the opportunity to get the ball, I just want to make good plays and help my team win the game and just create big plays.

DeSean Jackson

LeBron always tells me to shoot the ball. Don't worry about stats, don't worry about percentages. 'We know what you can do, just shoot the ball and be comfortable.'

Jae Crowder

I can shoot the ball. I can make everybody comfortable out there, and I'm just going to try to help my teammates play better basketball if possible.

Jose Calderon

I've always wanted to shoot a good percentage for my team, because I'm the point guard, and I can take fewer shots, still score more, so that I can get my teammates feeling good about themselves. That was always my feeling - that if I shoot a high percentage, I don't have to shoot a ton.

Steve Nash

It just depends on what's asked of me, but normally I'm looking to make the right, easy play. So if I can get a teammate a layup, if I can get him an open shot, I just think that gets the ball moving and I feel like it makes everybody feel good and we get into a better offensive rhythm.
