Midseason trades are hard.

Everyone wants to be liked.

Every moment is big in the playoffs.

I've been on some really good teams.

You don't want to be a streaky shooter.

I never really modeled my game after anybody.

Most guys are either big talkers or big workers.

I've never been a break-you-down, one-on-one guy.

I love it when the best team beats the best players.

I do remember my first 3-point attempt. I missed it.

I have a hard time imagining a life without basketball.

As a shooter, the one thing you want to be is consistent.

I do better in life when my world seems a little smaller.

The playoffs are a chess match, with adjustments every game.

I've always tried to set my standards high on a daily basis.

Do I consider the 2003 Draft class the best ever? Yes, absolutely!

My parents didn't pay for college because we all got scholarships.

Diving is cool to watch. Springboard or platform - it doesn't matter.

You're not going to reinvent yourself in the middle of a playoff series.

I had a column in high school for our school newspaper. I enjoy writing.

If you want to be a great team, you've got to be able to play 48 minutes.

Analytics, math, science has gone into a lot of different areas of the NBA.

If the team is scoring, and I'm on the court, that's as good as me scoring.

The mental side of sports, it's huge. It's such a massive part of the game.

In Atlanta, we ran a motion offense, so, obviously, I was on the move a lot.

When I first came to Atlanta, I did not want to come here; I got traded here.

It's hard to play basketball without a point guard - it's an important position.

Anytime something is a little new and a little fresh, it's going to be critiqued.

I watched the Bulls growing up. To be part of an organization like that is great.

I would say moving to Iowa turned out to be the best thing for my basketball career.

I've played for some really good coaches, been on some really good teams. I learned a lot.

It's hard when you get down. You start pressing a little bit trying to get back in the game.

I feel like I'm a pretty good judge of character because I've had to judge a lot of characters.

I have the most amazing job. I play basketball and keep working at it and trying to get better.

You're always trying to get better. You're always tinkering. You're always learning new things.

I've always had a good relationship with superstar players. I don't really demand the ball a lot.

A player senses when a coach loses confidence in him. That, more than anything, can throw a player.

I probably need to hold my emotions in check a little more, but that's just part of my wiring, too.

Shooting is all about rhythm and confidence, and sometimes those are the last things that get there.

It's very rare to find a basketball coach that gets both: that gets the Xs and Os and also gets life.

You can never expect things to happen like they did the last time. You still have to put in the work.

It's frustrating when teams try to take me out. But there's a lot of other ways to win besides shooting.

Well, the LeBron James of the world don't come around very often. That's a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing.

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.

I've never been a basketball prodigy. I've always had to work, earn my way. And that's the way I want it to be.

The Bulls are first class in every way: great people, organization, culture, and a great place to play basketball.

For me, I've never really thought of myself as labeled as a shooter or whatever. People can say whatever they want.

It's easy to draw up isolation basketball - it's not easy to draw up great motion offense with passing and cutting.

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 see a David West score 47, and yeah, it'd be cool to put up numbers like that. But I don't need that to make me happy.
