I'm trying to get a lower center of gravity. I think, when I play at a lower level, it helps my overall game, just my explosiveness to the rim with the ball in my hands. When I play with a lower center of gravity, my legs are always in my shot instead of playing vertical out there where I don't get the same explosion or legs into my shot.

We need to play like somebody took our lunch money, like somebody disrespected your mother. I think that's the type of anger you need have and the aggression you need to have on the court. That doesn't mean making mad faces or mean faces but it means attacking the glass, strongly attacking the rim when you have the ball on offense.

French Athlete

Whether I'm starting or coming off the bench, bigs have to protect the rim and can't give nothing easy to nobody.

Canadian Athlete

I try to space the floor and use my athletic ability to get to the rim... I try to get the best of both worlds.

Pat Connaughton

At the end of the day, if I can prevent the shot from getting to the rim, it's going to help my team.

 It's one of the most enduring designs in history. For me, the best buttons are usually round. There's either a dome button with a little shank, or there's just this sort of round thing with either a rim or not a rim, either two holes or four holes. Almost more important than the button is the buttonhole. And the way you figure that out
