When you’re younger, everyone wants to be a point guard. Everyone wants to shoot fadeaway jump shots all day. Nobody wants to be a big man. Nobody wants to go stand on the block and just set picks.
I don’t take any of the medications I took when I was younger: antibiotics, antacids, aspirin, asthma inhalers, ulcer medication, allergy shots.
In the NBA they’ve taken away so much of the hand-checking and the physicality of how guys are able to guard you. So if you touch me, I’m gonna throw the ball toward the rim and get shots.
Fox is notorious for having a very thick skin about taking shots at themselves.
It frustrated me as a kid. Like, why didn’t I just wake up every morning shooting half-court shots from my bedroom?
It would be nice to finish Khabib via liver shots, wouldn’t it? I just want to see him wincing in pain on the ground where he belongs.
I enjoy blocking shots. It’s kind of a rush.
Oscars are won with two or three shots only, because if it’s really beautifully photographed, you don’t really notice it until the astounding moment emphasizes it.
At Arsenal, we’re not short of combination football, and I like to join in on that and get in behind defenders and try to get shots off at goal.
One of the differences between HBO and other television is that they demand the same coverage that you would have in a feature film. We need to have all the shots in order to make it as rich and as stunning as it looks. We can’t cut any corners.
It was important on The Shipping News to have my house far enough away from each location so I had this time in the morning to think about my shots and still remain open to surprises once I got to the set.
Chi Chi Rodriguez had as good a pair of hands as anybody I ever saw, and more shots than you can imagine. But Chi Chi had a habit of turning simple shots into difficult ones.
I’ve always been able to shoot the ball, so it’s just about continuing to work on your shot and shoot the ball. That’s the main thing. Got to get those shots up.
When you’re going through a game and you miss your first couple, you definitely put a little bit of added pressure on yourself. And there is that sense of frustration. You got to block it out and realize that the whole goal of what I’m trying to do is just get open shots.
Anytime you got me hitting jump shots, you can’t do nothing but feed off me.
A talib fires three shots at point-blank range at three girls in a van and doesn’t kill any of them. This seems an unlikely story.
I laugh a lot, especially between shots, and it’s tough for me to control. There have been so many instances where my director had to request me to stop laughing and come into the mood of the scene.
Feel shots. Flops. Bump-and-runs. Those types of things are usually what go first for me when I haven’t practiced much.
You got to be able to hit mid-range shots, you got to able to hit threes and you got to be able to finish in the lane.
I shoot too many shots in the summer to worry about my shooting.
Now I’ve got near the top, I can see the games that people play. I thought everyone wanted to fight the best, and earn title shots, but it’s not like that.
At Pebble Beach, even on your good shots, you’ve got to hit it to the correct side of the holes to save pars.
What I’m trying to do is play the game the right way, not force shots up. Whenever I have my opportunities, take ’em.
If I get a chance, high pick and roll more. I want some triple doubles. I’ve got to get my handle right so I can pass and get it to guys where they can make shots.
I’ve been around golf my whole life. My father did it all the time, and I resented him for it. But a couple years ago I picked up a golf club and I understood the physics of it. If anyone knows anything about golf, it’s that once you hit a few shots, you’ll become addicted.
If you start worrying about your shooting percentages, you start not taking the shots you know you can make. You start worry about taking shots because you don’t want to mess up your percentage.
Needles. No needles for me, brother. I can’t even watch when they get put into somebody else. I don’t even get flu shots, none at all.
I love watching old fights. It’s hard to watch the black-and-white footage, although I know about Randolph Turpin and people like that, but I’m talking about Hearns, Haggler, Leonard, those guys. Sugar Ray Leonard, he was way before his time, throwing bolos and all that, those big wind-up bolo shots.
I really want to institute a culture that has nothing to do with shots or minutes or anything like that. It starts with a foundation of service.
I do feel like I get a lot of open shots.
You have to always work on your batting as you are never perfect. I am working on my batting every day and trying to perfect a few shots that will help me score all around the world.
I have a responsibility and a job as a guy who gets paid a lot of money, I’m expected to perform. And 82 games in 6-7 months is a lot, and it’s hard on the body, and you’re not gonna play perfect every night. Even Ray Allen misses shots, even LeBron misses dunks.
LeBron is one of the greats. He’s going to hit tough shots. You have to be able to live with them and limit everyone else around him.
The ratio of successful shots is one in God-knows-how-many. Sometimes you’ll get several in one contact sheet, and sometimes it’s none for days. But as long as you go on taking pictures, you’re likely to get a good one at some point.
I’d be lying if I said I never think about my female fans in certain shots and certain scenes. Like, when I’m topless, I might think: ‘This one is for the ladies.’
I think I can help push the tempo just a little bit… I feel I can get the ball after a rebound. Push the fastbreak. Push the tempo. Get guys some easy shots.
Golf is a thinking man’s game. You can have all the shots in the bag, but if you don’t know what to do with them, you’ve got troubles.
The Supreme Court ruled that disabled golfer Casey Martin has a legal right to ride in a golf cart between shots at PGA Tour events. Man, the next thing you know, they’re going to have some guy carry his clubs around for him.
I let the game come to me. I just try to read plays. I don’t like taking bad shots. I want the best shot for the team.
You need all four people to be throwing well. You need to be playing the right shots. You just need to be a lot smarter.
In a normal movie, the director controls what you look at. The shots don’t last very long because you’re getting the audience to look at specific things. An IMAX shot, on the other hand, can be twenty or thirty seconds long.
Defenders tend to leave me open on the elbow and when I step out, so it was only the smart thing to do to start to knock down the shots so they can’t leave me open up there.
And the question about if I ever dreamed of making the putt on the last hole of a U.S. Open when I was a kid, no, I didn’t. But I hit a lot of game-winning shots on the basketball court when I was a kid.
I am the jongleur. I leap and pirouette, and make you laugh. I make fun of those in power, and I show you how puffed up and conceited are the big shots who go around making wars in which we are the ones who get slaughtered. I reveal them for what they are. I pull out the plug, and… pssss… they deflate.
I stopped thinking too much about what could happen and relied on my physical and mental strength to play the right shots at the right time.
I’m a striker. I feel I can have my greatest impact there because I’m free to roam around the pitch, take players on, have shots and create chances.
I love being in the editing room and playing with tempo and with the rhythm of shots.
When I came out publicly, some photo editors had a field day searching for pictures of me with a limp wrist or some other stereotypical gay signifier – as though, after decades in the public eye, they’d suddenly come across a trove of shots where I looked like a Cher impersonator.
The secret of golf is to turn three shots into two.
You probably don’t hit as many fairway-bunker shots as you do the greenside ones, and that unfamiliarity might make you a bit nervous.
When I’m on the court, I feel at peace, really. It feels like my home. I’m always thinking of something creative to do, like trick shots or something like that. It’s just something about the basketball court that touches me; it makes me feel like nothing is wrong on the court.
I produce the way I would love to be produced: In ways to create the best conditions to make your movie, but also to create a space in which the director calls the shots.
Chances to win games won’t always come in the box, so that’s one thing I’ve got to work on: positioning myself outside the box and, obviously, taking shots.
One of my favorite shots was on these, like, lava rocks – but moss was growing on it, and I was lying on it, and it was really green, and the picture was really pretty.
Some shots, for me, are a good shot even if it’s forced. The way it might look to a person watching, they might look at it like, ‘That’s a tough shot.’ But for me, it’s not a tough decision. I’m committed to those shots, and I spend time working on them.
There’s only a couple stats that matter. No one cares how many blocked shots a guy has, how many hits.
