Thanks to Coach Bennett for a great education in basketball and for making me better.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
My five years at Virginia truly prepared me for the NBA and for life after the NBA.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
I want to play for a team that has a strong defensive reputation. One that relies on a system and where assists are valued. And a team that needs what I do - making other guys better, leading a team, being a defensive stopper every night. I want to be a good fit.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
I was thinking about the NBA after my fourth year, but I also realized I could get my master's paid for and have another year on the court to raise my draft stock even higher. I felt if I could do those things, I could have my cake and eat it, too.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
Regardless of what the stakes are, our attitude and our mindset doesn't change.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
I pride myself on what I do every night. I pride myself on my work ethic and how I carry myself. I want to be mature in my approach but focused and disciplined.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
A lot of scouts and people are enamored with athleticism and youth. So they take that any day over mature, high-quality basketball players.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
When you have a year of experience and also the experience of playing in the playoffs, it just makes a world of difference.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
When you're running next to a guy who's about to lay it up in transition, you just get out of the way because you know Giannis is coming to block it.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
I think, as a rookie, what guys need to be judged on most coming in the league is feel. Not skill, not shooting, not stats, not even passing, but that feel for the game, the ability to read situations and make the right play.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
I just go out there to show them I'm going to play the right way regardless of what position or what situation I'm in.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
I'm going to play the right way, I'm going to know my role, and I'm going to be who I am.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
I don't pay attention to accolades or any of that stuff because I think it can serve as a distraction, so for me, I just focus on winning games, trying to make the playoffs.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
I think we live in a country where we go overseas, and we fight other people's wars, and we fight terrorism overseas internationally, but we don't want to fully acknowledge the terrorism that goes on domestically.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
I was lucky I had a mom who had seen it all. From seeing my grandfather march in the Civil Rights era, she understood the depth, character, and stability you need to go through racism. She taught me not to accept it to but deal with it and be better than it.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
Thanks to the great fans of Milwaukee. Their work ethic truly inspires me every night.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
I knew who I was coming into the NBA, so I knew what I could contribute to a team, and I just had a high level of confidence in myself and what I could do.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
I think my play will talk for me, It will show people, and it will show the league.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
I think it speaks a lot to Coach Kidd and my teammates to trust me as a rookie to make plays down the stretch. When they put that confidence in you, it's hard not to try to make plays.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
Starting you automatically gets into your rhythm faster. Coming off the bench, you're colder; it can be harder at times.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
When you're getting an opportunity and playing well, that's all you can ask for.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
My whole career, I've been an underdog, I've been underestimated. Therefore, I've had a chip on my shoulder my entire career. Being drafted in the second round when you think you're supposed to be in the first round, a lottery pick, the chip grows bigger. And you have more to prove.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
For me, personally, I feel like that's my duty while I'm on this earth is to serve others and use my blessing to bless others. If I'm not doing that, I feel like I'm not serving my purpose. That's my goal, that's my passion, and that's what I intend to do for the rest of my life.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
I saw from a very young age the value of clean water in communities in Africa. I made a promise to myself that once I reached a time and place in my career where I could do more, I would.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
When you have a coaching change, when you have trades, an injury, when you have all these things happening - these are all things that are out of your control. Quickly, you start to understand that, really, the only thing you can control is going out and playing hard every night and being ready for your opportunity.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
When you bring a winner onto your team, he knows how to win, he's going to help your team win, and that's the goal at the end of the day.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
I don't pay attention to what people think. I don't really care what people think. All that matters is my teammates and my coaches.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
I've been a bit surprised, and encouraged, by the NBA's support for athletes that speak out. Compared to the NFL, it's night and day.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
I've heard a lot about what second-round picks usually do - whether it's D-League or whether it's not playing - but for me, I have high expectations of myself regardless of where I'm picked.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
Before I came to Milwaukee, I'd heard the city was the most segregated in the country. I'd heard it was racist. When I got here, it was extremely segregated. I've never lived in a city this segregated.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
When guys were going out to parties, I was going to the gym. I figured, for all my mom sacrificed for me, it was the least I could do.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
In college, I prided myself on defense and guarding the best player every night.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
Everybody has losses, and sometimes they're worse than others, but you can always bounce back.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
Defense is about will and effort and a certain toughness you have to have.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
I think it's the way I'm wired, the way I'm built. I want to improve. If you're not improving, someone's passing.
Quote by -Malcolm Brogdon
It's easy for especially NBA players to get caught up in the stress of the job, to get caught up in negativity and in what other people think, and it's hard, but the best way to live is to keep things simple and enjoy every day.
