Quotes from J. J. Redick

I've been very fortunate to be on some great teams and in great locker rooms.

I'm very proud of my time at Duke, my career at Duke, but as you get older and become an adult, you lose some head bobs. That's not part of the routine anymore.

When I come to the arena, my mind is on basketball, not thinking I'm walking a runway.

Twitter has now just become a bunch of angry voices. That for me, I had to detach from there.

As a shooter, you always want to be in a rhythm.

Obviously, you look at a situation and you say, 'What do I need to do to fit in?' I looked at the Clippers and said, 'I really need to work on my dunk shots.'

Most of my shots are threes and long 2-point jumpers.

Generally speaking, you want to put three or four shooters around a dominant center and have him just roll to the basket.

I shoot my highest percentage from the right corner, and it's also the shortest shot.

I don't care about starting or coming off the bench or anything like that. To me, whatever role I'm in I'm going to try to help us win.

For me, I can only talk so much about basketball, and I get a little bored.

I've been on teams where you literally don't talk to each other at dinner. Just six guys on their phones.

We're going to have a generation of kids whose norm will be people just being addicted to their phones. And that's what scares me. The impact on my kids, I think about that daily. Like, what is this doing to me and my family?

Some collectors do but no, I don't look at watches as an investment.

For the most part, someone who is in love with mechanical watches is not going to decide to wear a smartwatch over a mechanical watch.

Growing up, I didn't know anyone that was a watch collector or into watches, but I was always kind of curious about them. Before the NBA Draft, I knew I was going to get drafted, and I wanted to commemorate that by buying a watch.

I would much rather invest in stocks, bonds, private equity and hedge funds than watches.

I would never say never, but it's not in my plans to be a coach.

My closet is my happy place.

Our job collectively, players and coaches, is to figure out a way to play that we can put ourselves in a position to win.

I don't own a watch anymore. Literally, that was an addiction. I'm not afraid to admit that. It took me over. My possessions possessed me.

Nothing can prepare an 18-year-old for the fishbowl that is Duke basketball. So that was difficult.

You always look forward to the start of the regular season. It's like opening presents on Christmas morning.

I feel like every guy has a job to do on the defensive end, and that job can change night to night. My biggest thing is, I try to do my job, and compete.
