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.

I probably need to hold my emotions in check a little more, but that's just part of my wiring, too.
I would say moving to Iowa turned out to be the best thing for my basketball career.
I have strong faith, and I have strong family.
Analytics, math, science has gone into a lot of different areas of the NBA.
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.
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've never played the jack-it-up kinda game; that's just not who I am.
It's frustrating when teams try to take me out. But there's a lot of other ways to win besides shooting.
I've never been a break-you-down, one-on-one guy.
A lot of guys can shoot two, three, four, five, six, seven, 10 feet behind the 3-point line. A lot of people can do it. It's just, when is it going to be considered a good shot? When are coaches going to encourage you to shoot that shot?
Midseason trades are hard.
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!'
I've always had a good relationship with superstar players. I don't really demand the ball a lot.
Draft night for me - I watched it in my dorm in college. And it started off with just me and a friend, because I knew I probably wasn't going to get picked right away. I thought it was going to be a little later. But, you know, you watch the whole thing. You never know what might happen, so you gotta watch.
Do I consider the 2003 Draft class the best ever? Yes, absolutely!
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.
Sometimes it helps to take a couple days off, as weird as that sounds. Every once in a while, I could just shoot so many shots. You can get so, like, intense with it all. It's like in life, right? We're all created for a sabbath day or for a day of rest. You sometimes need that in shooting, too.
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.
Out of high school, all I heard was 'one dimensional,' 'can't do anything but shoot.'
I've played with a couple good shooters, but I've never been on a team where there's been three, four, five, six good shooters. And I've always thought that nothing gets you open more than being surrounded by good shooters.
The NBA is a beautiful job in a lot of ways. But for living stability, thinking you're going to be somewhere for a long time, it's not for that.
I like doing drills and when coaches take you through drills and stuff, but I don't like counting shots and things like that. I just shoot until I feel good.
You're not going to reinvent yourself in the middle of a playoff series.
I don't think I ever would have imagined having this career.
It's hard when you get down. You start pressing a little bit trying to get back in the game.
It's very rare to find a basketball coach that gets both: that gets the Xs and Os and also gets life.
That's when I'm at my best: when I'm surrounded by good players.
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.
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?
The Bulls are first class in every way: great people, organization, culture, and a great place to play basketball.
You can never expect things to happen like they did the last time. You still have to put in the work.
If you shoot with mechanics where you've got your knees bending in all the way, you're not using your hips properly, you get all of this tendinitis and knee pain.
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 watched the Bulls growing up. To be part of an organization like that is great.
I've been shooting my whole life. I don't remember a team where I wasn't playing basketball. It's something I really enjoy, and I shoot for hours at a time.
The mental side of sports, it's huge. It's such a massive part of the game.
If you want to be a great team, you've got to be able to play 48 minutes.
You can visualize, and you can try to trick yourself into thinking a certain way. There's all kinds of things you can do to try to get in the right spot mentally. But at the end of the day, to have real confidence, you've got to be doing good at your craft.
Chicago is an amazing place for sports.
If the team is scoring, and I'm on the court, that's as good as me scoring.
A player senses when a coach loses confidence in him. That, more than anything, can throw a player.
LeBron carries a certain weight. You feel him all the time. On the court, off the court, in the organization. I don't say 'weight' in a bad way, but his presence is always felt. He is striving for greatness at all times. Because he's such a magnetic personality and such an incredible basketball player, people follow him.
I've always tried to set my standards high on a daily basis.
I don't shoot shots just to shoot shots. I'm always working in a rhythm, working on mechanics. I've got a checklist of the things I need to do with my form, my legs, my arms, all of my mechanics.
To have a superstar - he's Allen Iverson - he really took me under his wing and really forced me to shoot the ball and forced me to make plays, and to have him do that for me - and the way he was always in my ear telling me to shoot the ball and supporting me - it's a big deal.
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.
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.'
I'll see some random guy and really like how he's locking his wrist when he's shooting or how a guy is catching the ball. It can be a little reminder that that's something I have to think about today.
Diving is cool to watch. Springboard or platform - it doesn't matter.
