Quotes from Kyle Korver

You've got to go through some good times and some bad times, and hopefully you're able to recover from the bad times.

You're always trying to get better. You're always tinkering. You're always learning new things.

A lot of things in life, you can be told the right way to do it, but you've kind of got to learn by your own mistakes. It's just human nature.

I don't think I ever would have imagined having this career.

I have a hard time imagining a life without basketball.

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.

When I first came to Atlanta, I did not want to come here; I got traded here.

Midseason trades are hard.

Well, the LeBron James of the world don't come around very often. That's a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing.

Do I consider the 2003 Draft class the best ever? Yes, absolutely!

I do better in life when my world seems a little smaller.

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.

I only try to talk to people about things I really do use in my shot. If I see something similar and something that will help them, then you try to come to them and say, 'I think I might have something for you. Think about it if you like it.' If they do, and they want to keep talking about it, then I will.

I've never played the jack-it-up kinda game; that's just not who I am.

For me, I've never really thought of myself as labeled as a shooter or whatever. People can say whatever they want.

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?

I love thinking about mechanics and having your mind agree with the mechanics. Sometimes you can shoot it correctly, but your mind doesn't think that it's right. So it's like, how do you get your mind to trust that that's the right way to shoot it.

I think some people get just locked into 'this is the way it has to be,' and they're afraid of messing something up. I don't ever want to be that way with shooting or with anything, really - not just shooting.

I do remember my first 3-point attempt. I missed it.

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.

Diving is cool to watch. Springboard or platform - it doesn't matter.

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've always tried to set my standards high on a daily basis.

You can never expect things to happen like they did the last time. You still have to put in the work.
