Jeff Teague says the Timberwolves traded him because he kept taking mid-range jumpers instead of threes. "Literally, they use analytics for everything. I told y'all the reason I got traded because I shot a mid-range jumper." "We were down, going into half, shot clock was going off, and I...

Carmelo Anthony says he made a career off the mid-range and Houston told him he could take one middy a game and asked for twelve threes “They tell me, no mid-range shots. Coach ain’t talking to me. What? You brought me here for what? They ain’t talking to me, they talking to somebody else. I’m looking at CP behind me on the chair like, ‘See what I’m saying? Leave it alone.’” “Oh, they broke it down. Numbers. We only allowed 17 mid-range shots a game. Here’s who can take them. Broke it down, CP can take the majority of the mid-range shots. James can take, Melo, you get maybe one.” “Maybe one. I had 25,000 points from mid-range. Tell me I only could take one mid-range a game.” “But you want me to shoot 12 threes?” (h/t DWade, ft. Carmelo Anthony)

Draymond Green wants Victor Wembanyama to float less and be closer to the rim, and uses his own Game 7 performance in the 2016 Finals to illustrate why: "In order to take the next step and the next step, he's going to have to continue to figure that out more and more. Castle's going to get better, Dylan Harper is going to get better, which means they're going to require the ball more and more, which is going to require him to float less and less, and he's going to have to figure out what ultimately makes them the best and most dangerous team they can possibly be. And when you're that high a percentage at the rim, I thought it was beautiful last night. At the rim, at the rim, dunk, dunk, dunk. Oh, all right, I'mma step out and take a three now. Beautiful. Love to see that because he has an incredible jump shot, right? Like, so we don't just want to see him do away with the three. We don't just want to see him get rid of his mid-range. He's a great shooter. But when you're shooting that three, you're shooting that mid-range, that win goes to me. Whether you make it or not don't really matter. When you take it, I won, because you're not taking the 85% shot that you got at the rim. So, I won that possession. And I think he has to start to understand that. It's like I'll use myself as an example.. Game 7 of the NBA Finals, 2016. I hit six threes, 32 points, whatever it was. Beautiful. We lost. Because that 32 points that I had and the threes that I hit are different than Steph Curry scoring 32 points and hitting six threes. It's totally different. You know why? Because it causes a different reaction from the defense. If Steph Curry's hitting those threes, if Steph Curry has 32 points, somebody else got 15 just by them overreacting to him. You see what I'm saying? So with Wemby, you can hit that jump shot and it's beautiful, but when you're at the rim, it causes a different reaction to the defense." #GoSpursGo #PorVida

Hakeem Olajuwon and Kevin Durant talking about mid-range shots being dead in the NBA “I can’t believe it. You see a few guys in our league still keeping it alive. SGA was the MVP. He still shoot a lot of mid range. It’s the unpredictable shot. It’s an easy shot to shoot once you master it. Once you figure it out, it feels like a layup. I’ve been trying to keep it alive, man. I’ve been shooting. I shoot the most in the league. Get to your spot, preserve some energy. You don’t got to dunk and shoot from deep all the time. You can mix that in. But the mid-range is that area. That was the name of the game back in your era of basketball. I feel like everybody had a mid-range game” (Via Boardroom)

Anthony Edwards on switching to Jaylen Brown defensively in the fourth quarter “I mean he had 40, (laughs) so just trying to not let him get a shot off… I feel like I did a good job on him, he made a tough shot on me one time and kind of told me I’m to small, I said that might have been the luckiest shot ever(laughs)… he kind of woke me up after telling me I was to small”

Al Pacino says Francis Ford Coppola sat him down a few weeks into filming The Godfather and showed him footages of his performance saying he wasn’t impressed and he was sure he was about to be fired Al Pacino: “Because when I walked in there, again, that was a big thing for me to walk into Gingerman. Because I didn’t go there because I didn’t have money to buy the drinks.” “So I went in there, and Francis was eating with his family, and I was standing there, and he says, ‘We had a talk.’” “So I thought, well, here we go, you know? We’re not going to go anywhere.” “He tells me, ‘You know, I had faith in you. I believed in you.’” “I said, ‘Yeah, I know,’ but it’s—well, you’re not— I don’t know what to do now. What do I say now?” “He says, ‘Well, I only show you the rushes, the footage that we had shot already, and that was going to see something.’” “So I went and saw the rushes, and I’m looking at the screen, and I’m seeing mistakes.” “I was hoping that I could blend in with the scenery and not be seen specifically, or, you know, spotted.” “I just wanted to just blend and just be natural.” “And I thought, well, I know this, the way it looks now, but that’s part of what is going to turn into Michael Corleone.” “So, of course, like I said, two friends, naturally, the actor’s instinct, I just said, ‘Yeah, I see what you mean. That always quiets everybody down. I see, I see what you’re saying.’” “Yes. Sure, yeah, yeah, I’ll work on that.” “I thought, well. Then I thought I was out. And I sort of wanted to be out.”

Bam Adebayo GOES IN on the critics that says his 83 point game performance is unethical: "For the couch coaches, I mean, if you're in my shoes and you have, first of all, y'all are blaming me. You should be blaming the head coach. Get that first. I was not the one letting me go one-on-one the whole game until I had 70, and then you started to send a double. At that point, I got 70 with, like, what? nine minutes left to go in the game you think i'm not going for it like like and that's the thing that's crazy when they talk about the unethical part of the basketball i'm like if i have 70 points with 9 minutes to go Who would just be like, you know, coach, just take me out. Yeah, right. Anybody in my shoes with nine minutes left? Okay. A minute? All right. Nine? Yeah, I'm going for it. You can't be mad at that. If you are mad, I don't care because a lot of people, they're upset because if they did play, they never had a chance to get that close to chasing greatness. And then if you get that close to chasing greatness, that's the point of chasing it so you can surpass it. And some of the people have never played basketball. So like if you've been in the backyard and you and a couple of your homies have been playing 21 and you got 19. You're not going to get an easy look off. And four, they're going to talk about the free throws. It's not like I shoot 15 free throws a game. It's not like I average 10 free throws a game. You can watch the film. I was legitimately getting fouled every time. So I went to the free throw line."

Selena Gomez reveals how Benny Blanco proposed to her. “I thought we had a shoot that day, so I had hair and makeup done, and I was just going about my regular day. I got into the car, and I was thinking to myself, ‘Where are we going?’ Because at that point, I felt like I knew all the studios I usually go to” “It was just me and my security guard, and he was laughing because he was just like, ‘I don’t know. It’s a new space’” “We got out. I walked in, and all of a sudden, I saw no one in the room. I looked at my assistant, and she just shut the door. And I was like, ‘Uhhh…’” “I think you envision all the things you would do and say when someone proposes to you. But it is actually the craziest feeling. It was really special” “He said the sweetest things, but I was so shocked that it just felt unreal for a long time. I’ve always dreamed of that moment, and he couldn’t have made it more perfect. It was one of the best days of my life, for sure”

I asked Mikal about his approach given analytics not favoring the mid-range shot in today's NBA: “I know the analytics with the threes and layups, but we’re basketball players at the same time, we work on our games. Sometimes you can’t get to the rim, you just can’t. There’s a lot of other space on the floor that you can get to. And if you work on it enough and you’re confident enough, those can be your layups.”

Brendan Haywood on where he thinks the downfall for the Spurs started and what Pop said to Tim Duncan in a similar situation: "New York was going on that run and they just kept taking all those 3s. And I was like, I understand the mindset behind that play.. But you got to understand time and score, you got to understand momentum. I'll give you a quick story. I'm playing for the Washington Wizards, we're playing the Spurs. We go on like a quick 10-0 run. Tim Duncan takes a mid-range jumper that's contested by me, and Pop rips him a new one. 'You think we need that shot right now while they're on a 10-0 run? We need to get a good shot.' That's what the Spurs didn't realise. Hey man, this team's on a run. We might not need that contested 3, we need a good shot, we need a shot right at the rim.. do something to help us get out of this funk.. And then as the game wore on, I saw a young team and I saw a young coaching staff." #GoSpursGo #PorVida

Nate Robinson says Doc Rivers gave him a DNP that cost him a $1,500,000 contract bonus “I had it in my contract where I made like $1.5 million if I played a certain amount of games. Doc Rivers gives me a DNP the game where I needed one more game to get $1.5 million. And all I had to do was go in the game” “Before the game I told KG, I told the team, and they were like, ‘Man, what you gonna do.’ The real me wanted to just go sub in and say, ‘Sub me.’ But they were telling me, ‘Nate, you want to play in this league a long time. You got to be professional. You don’t want to go to the D-League,’ and all this bullshit they try to hold over your head to keep you in line” “I was like, Cool. Alright, whatever. After the game I called my agent. I told him, ‘Bro, I think he did that on purpose.’ And he was like, ‘Well, we don't have any proof that he did’” “I come from the Knicks. I was just playing, and then I don't play. That's a clear sign. Why would he give me a DNP. I'm not hurt. I'm ready to go. What was the reason. I never even asked him, but I know he did that on purpose. I know it”

Taj Gibson called me. They like, ‘Yo, we’re about to make Minnesota popping.’ I was like, ‘Hell no, I don't want to go here.’ I cried when I signed there. Not for a good reason. I cried because I didn’t want to go” “I wanted to go back here. My agent signed that shit without me. Because I turned it down the first time. They offered me $63 million for three years, and I turned it down. I was going to wait for Indiana” “They called back. They were like, ‘Hey, we’re dropping it to $57 million.’ My agent called me. He was like, ‘Yep, we signed with Minnesota.’ I’m like, ‘What? No the fuck I didn’t.’ He was like, ‘Shit, yeah you did. We ain’t waiting for no fucking Indiana’” “I was shitty because George Hill signed the same deal, but his wasn’t all guaranteed. My shit was all guaranteed. And he was like, ‘You want a non-guarantee?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah. Indiana.’ He was like, ‘Nah, I’m signing that shit.’ He signed it and I was pissed”

Austin Reaves on his interaction with the ref: "I felt like I was respectful to all of them all night. A million times in the past, I've said way worse stuff. And when we were doing the whole tip ball and they were switching spots, I wanted to get on the other side because they had a guy on the other side, was just trying to keep an advantage. And he turned around and yelled in my face. I just thought it was disrespectful. The whole time that was going on over there, I don't think he said much to them. I know Ben (Taylor) stepped in and said something. But at the end of the day, we're grown men and I just didn't feel like he needed to yell in my face like that. I told him that. I wasn't disrespectful. I told him if I did that to him first, I would've gotten a tech. I feel like the only reason I didn't get a tech was because he knew he was in the wrong. I felt disrespected"

Magic Johnson says Kareem Abdul-Jabbar tried to change him as a rookie—but later admitted Magic changed him instead “On the first day of training camp, I told him, ‘Listen man, I’m here to help you.’” “I asked him, ‘How do you like the ball? High? In the middle of your chest? Low?’” “He said, ‘I like it high.’” “I said, ‘That’s where it’ll be every single time.’” “In our first game, he hit a skyhook from the free throw line to win it.” “I hugged him for two or three minutes because I had never seen a game-winning shot like that.” “He took me into the locker room and said, ‘Rookie, come here. Don’t ever do that. We’ve got 81 more games to go. We can’t be this high after Game 1.’” “Everybody was looking at me, so I had to make a decision.” “I told him, ‘You hit a shot like that 81 more times, and I’m gonna celebrate 81 more times.’” “That showed him I wasn’t gonna change.” “I was gonna be who I am while letting him be who he is.” “Just recently, Kareem told me, ‘Irving, you showed me that I could show my emotion and enjoy the game. You changed me.’”

Don’t ever do that. We’ve got 81 more games to go. We can’t be this high after Game 1.’” “Everybody was looking at me, so I had to make a decision.” “I told him, ‘You hit a shot like that 81 more times, and I’m gonna celebrate 81 more times.’” “That showed him I wasn’t gonna change.” “I was gonna be who I am while letting him be who he is.” “Just recently, Kareem told me, ‘Irving, you showed me that I could show my emotion and enjoy the game. You changed me.’”

Iman Shumpert says Steph Curry changed how every NBA team plays, but James Harden changed how players build their individual offensive game. “People tried arguing with me on Twitter, saying I claimed James changed the game more than Steph. That’s not what I said. They belong in the same conversation.” “Steph made the three-pointer a necessity. If your team can’t shoot threes today, you’re not surviving in this league.” “Before Steph and Klay, the three was something you used when you needed to catch up. They turned it into a weapon.” “I remember in the Finals, my teammates were getting on me for passing up open threes. I kept thinking, ‘I’ve never played like this.’ Then you realize you have to because they’re counting by threes.” “You’d see a missed shot and your first thought wasn’t where the rebound was going. It was, ‘Where’s Steph?’ Because if he got it, you knew what was coming.” “Steph changed the game because he made everyone add the three-point shot to their game.” “James Harden changed something different. He made his style of play become people’s package.” “There’s a difference between being good at basketball and having game. The great ones have a complete package they can go to at the end of a game.” “That’s what Kobe had. You knew he was going to get to his spots. You just didn’t know how.”

Jason Terry says he rejected Atlanta’s $24 million offer after he saw Andre Miller sign for $55 million, a move that led to his $57 million sign and trade with the Mavericks “I go out the next season, I average 17 points and 7 assists. You said you want me to be a point guard, so pay me like that. Andre Miller gets $55 million. He says, ‘We got $24 million for you.’ I'm like, “That’s almost half of what he getting” “I say, ‘Listen, I'm just as good if not better. I gotta get paid as such.’ At that point, I was like, ‘Atlanta's probably not gonna be home for me. Whenever there’s an opportunity, let's go.’ I had three coaches in four years and it was time to move on” “So one time I'm in Dallas, they're playing Sacramento. I go to the game. I go in the Mavericks locker room. I went in there and I'm in the back office. Mark Cuban walks in. He said, ‘Ain't you the one that hit the 47 points on us last season?’ I said, ‘Yeah.’ He said, ‘You know we pay over here’” “The next year came around, I was free. I wasn't restricted again. I told Cuban, ‘If there's any way you could come get me, come get me.’ And they ended up trading for me” (via Theknuckleheadspod)

Kevin Love breaks down his game winning stop on Steph Curry in game 7 of 2016: “I tell people all the time I blacked out…. I just forced him into a tough shot. People want to say it was this great stop. I was like I have to stay down and force him into a tough shot… I made a great play. But ‘biggest defensive play in finals’ like Bron just had the greatest defensive play in history. It’s on the Mount Rushmore of any sport” (Via Richard Jefferson)

Michael Beasley says LeBron told him he was playing so good it was costing the starters their stats, then out of nowhere, he never got off the bench again UD: “Me and D-Wade were the ones that went to Spo. We was a little light on the depth, and we was like, we need Beas. We need a guy that could come off the bench, get buckets on the nights where Bron and D-Wade might be out or we just need somebody to take some of the load off them.” Beas: “One thing that made me feel good, it was like two, three games in a row. One I remember ‘cause I crossed somebody up and Bron asked me how I did it, we was in Charlotte.” “They put the second unit in, I get to barbecuing so good that they don’t even got to come back in the game. Bron made a comment on the plane like, ‘Beas, you keep playing like this, we ain’t even gonna get our stats for the season.’ I was young, I was just ready. Then just out of nowhere, I just stopped playing.” “And I was optimistic every day, and that whooped my ass because every night I didn’t play. At the same time, I was around my favorite players, my favorite people. So I couldn’t be upset about that. But then the dog in me just made me hate Spo.”

Elizabeth Olsen talks about how Dr Strange Multiverse of Madness was made “I had two days to pack after finishing WandaVision before flying out to film Doctor Strange 2 there's a point in making the movie where I just stopped reading drafts. I was like, ‘This is just going to change again’ I shot what they told me to to do, and I did it. And then I went off and filmed Love & Death while they filmed the rest of the movie.”
