It hasn't always been easy. There's a lot of hard moments. Sometimes you learn from the end of the bench. Sometimes you learn from injuries. Sometimes you learn the most through the hard things. If you can keep a good attitude and keep on working, eventually situations change, and you can put those things to use.
You've got to go through some good times and some bad times, and hopefully you're able to recover from the bad times.
I run around a lot. I shoot a lot of threes. And that's just kind of what I've done since I was really young.
The Bulls are first class in every way: great people, organization, culture, and a great place to play basketball.
Analytics, math, science has gone into a lot of different areas of the NBA.
You're not going to reinvent yourself in the middle of a playoff series.
It's hard when you get down. You start pressing a little bit trying to get back in the game.
I probably need to hold my emotions in check a little more, but that's just part of my wiring, too.
If you want to be a great team, you've got to be able to play 48 minutes.
That is what shooting is. There is no secret sauce, man. You've got to find mechanics that you can make the same every time, and you've got to do it over and over again, and you can't just shoot for rhythm. You've got to understand what you are doing. You have to focus on those details every day.
I loved college. If I could've gone another year, I'd have gone another year, you know what I mean? Those were some of the best memories of my life.
The mental side of sports, it's huge. It's such a massive part of the game.
If the team is scoring, and I'm on the court, that's as good as me scoring.
I don't think I ever would have imagined having this career.
That's when I'm at my best: when I'm surrounded by good players.
Every game is its own thing in the playoffs. When you're in them long enough, you understand. If a playoff series goes six or seven games, it's like a rollercoaster. Your emotions are so up, then they're so down. 'You can't do anything right! Then everything's going your way!'
You don't ever want to be a mechanical basketball player, but as far as technique and things, I like to have certain check points in my shot, certain things that I can count on and think about. It kind of helps me to be consistent.
I think any of the older guys you can poll throughout the NBA, they're super-regimented. Because as long as that body lasts, your mind should be better; your shot should be better. But the reality is, at some point, your body does break down - you do get older - so it's just, how do you prolong that as long as possible?
It's easy on teams when you have got superstars. I mean, they're really good. And you give them the ball, and you say, 'Make a play.'
If there's a loose ball, dive on the floor. If you can take a charge, do that. The playoffs are all about scratching. Whatever it takes.
