Jason Kidd

The ball touched the paint a lot of times. When we talk about touching the paint, the ball touches the key for making a layup or making a play for a teammate. We've got to use our length and our speed. Defensively, getting deflections. Give up one shot and rebound.

American Athlete

Draymond Green

Think about the deflections. The offense can't score every play. They're just trying to get a good shot. If I can deflect a pass, even if it doesn't cause a turnover, it will throw their timing off half-a-second. That half-a-second might mess up their shot.

Matthew Hussey

A friend of mine once earnestly said to his girlfriend, 'You look so pretty tonight,' and she replied, 'You're such a dork.' Her deflection was a total turn-off. It didn't make him feel attractive, nor did it encourage him to keep complimenting her.

British Celebrity

Kenneth Burke

Men seek for vocabularies that are reflections of reality. To this end, they must develop vocabularies that are selections of reality. And any selection of reality must, in certain circumstances, function as a deflection of reality.

American Philosopher

You don't contest shots without expending energy. You don't get deflections - unless you walk into one every now and then - without expending energy. These are the things in basketball you have to really want to do.

Todd Cantwell

You play well, you feel comfortable, then you lose via a deflection or an individual mistake and you feel robbed.

English Footballer

Eric Cantona

On sand, you can never be sure of anything. An ordinary shot can take a wicked deflection at the last moment.

French Actor

Usually involves an object touching another to cause deflection.

Physical Interaction

Indicates a significant alteration in path, not just a minor detour.

Directional Change

Deflection often happens unexpectedly and isn’t planned.

Unintentional Shift

Refers to the physical strain on an object causing bending or warping.

Structural Stress

Often used when discussing precise amounts of bending in scientific contexts.

Measurement Related

Suggests an object can return to original shape after deflection.

Elasticity Implication

In conversation, could mean avoiding a topic or shifting focus cleverly.

Evasive Maneuver

Can imply avoiding responsibility or self-protection by redirecting.

Protection Mechanism

Used strategically, deflection can steer a discussion in a new direction.

Conversation Tactic

 What's going on? What's producing these jets? At the center of every galaxy that we know about is a supermassive black hole. Now, black holes are invisible. That's why they're called that. All you can see is the deflection of the light around them,

How radio telescopes...

 panel you can see some imprinting from the blasts of scorching but material was successful this is now the computer rendition of the surface full of the damage to the panel and all of the deflection happens in the first two point four milliseconds

Blast-Proof Plane PIPE...

 to make it boomerang all the way around back to you? Sadly, no. Even if the ball didn't disintegrate on impact, or hit any obstacles, as the air slowed it, the angle of its deflection would increase,
