A Quote by Brittney Griner

If I'm blocking shots or changing shots or even preventing players from taking shots, I'm helping the team and we are likely to win when our defense is playing well.

I try to do a good job of contesting shots and blocking shots and altering shots, but I've got to do a better job of doing more.

Roy Hibbert

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

Basketball is a game of sacrificing yourself for the next guy, being a team that takes good shots, and taking the right shots

David Blatt

That's probably the biggest thing for any team in the playoffs, for every team - if you want to win. It's not about your numbers. It's not about scoring. It's about the team and whatever it is you need to do to help the team win. Whether it's rebounding, taking charges, getting steals, blocking shots or guarding somebody.

Danny Green

I'm utilized for playing defense, blocking shots and getting rebounds.

Shawn Bradley

There's two facets of this game. You know, if I'm not making shots, OK, then I have to do something on defense. So if I'm missing shots or making shots, it doesn't affect my overall game.

Rasheed Wallace

You've gotta play a head game; especially blocking shots, you've gotta make it hard. You're playing against the best of the best: they're not gonna go straight to the basket, do a layup. You've gotta lure them into some shots.

Karl-Anthony Towns

In eighth grade, I pretty much didn't want to pass. I was 6'8'.' I was always bigger and stronger. I was getting triple-teamed, and the results weren't good. I wasn't helping my team. I was forcing shots. Then I started passing it out to my team, and they started hitting shots and slashing, and that's when things opened up for me.

Jahlil Okafor

I like to play attacking shots, even if it is in the first over of the game. If I get out playing attacking shots, then so be it.

Prithvi Shaw

Runs are runs, even if they are coming off playing cut shots or in front, but it's not like T20 can only be played with big shots.

Babar Azam

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

When you're playing spot minutes, it's harder to hit those shots. But if you're getting volume shots, now it's a lot easier to get a rhythm.

Shaun Livingston

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

Pam Shriver

I am not a great fan of computers. I do watch videos and analyse which batsman is playing how. Batsmen can play different shots on different days. A batsman may not play cover drives well, but if he connects with two such shots, he starts playing the drive well on that day.

Harbhajan Singh

Making the tough shots and leaning in a certain way and a fadeaway and stuff like that, those are tough shots, but those are shots you have to learn to make in this league.

Kemba Walker

You have T20 and that also plays a part in some of the shots batsmen play. You see guys playing the same shots in T20s and Tests and are sometimes lucky to get away with it.
