I always talk about shooting being broken down into three things. You have to have some semblance of good form. The second part is repetition: doing things over and over again until you really develop a skillset. And then the third part is confidence. But for me, you can't have confidence without having that second part.

I'm a Christopher Nolan fiend. I love 'Inception,' 'Interstellar,' 'The Prestige,' 'Memento' and of course the Batman trilogy. I love all his movies.

At the end of every season I look in the mirror and ask myself what can I do better? Where did I screw up this year?

J. J. Redick

Year Where Very

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.

Out of all the records, my proudest was breaking Coach Johnny Dawkins's scoring record.

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

As I finished up my time at Duke, I certainly wasn't a 'foodie' but I was learning to enjoy the finer things in the culinary world.

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

I think anytime you have any sort of injury, you know I've come back from a pulled hamstring in college one time, foot injuries. The movement that causes the initial jolt of pain you always kind of are tentative when you have to make that movement, especially as you kind of build back up.

It seems like you have to put so much into winning on the road and playing well on the road.

I'm not into trends, but more enduring classics and styles.

It's certainly a different feel in the locker room after the game when you win.

One of the reasons that the NBA is so good is NBA Twitter.

I'm no dummy. So much of the NBA is just fit and situation, and I always say this, for 85 to 90 percent of the league, your performance is often dictated by your situation and your coaches.

J. J. Redick

Your You Ways

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

War Morning Christmas

There's certain points in the season - I think players go through it and teams go through it - where you just have stretches and you're stuck in a rut or you feel like nothing's going right. You just got to keep grinding, and eventually it'll turn.

I have this personality where I'm all in on something or I'm off of it.

When I got done at Duke, I almost felt ashamed of it. I almost tried to distance myself from being the Duke guy.

My second year in the league I played zip.

J. J. Redick

Zip Year T

For me, I spent four years at Duke, and I was 22 my rookie year. For a lot of guys, I was old as a rookie, but nothing could prepare me for the NBA, both on the court and off the court.

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

I think the coach-player relationship is a two-way thing. You have to be willing to take suggestions as a player and vice versa.

J. J. Redick

I think with defense especially, you have your core principles. If you do those consistently, then it's easy to make, sort of, game-to-game adjustments. But, when you're not doing your core principles consistently, you end up just guessing a lot. To be honest with you, that's what bad teams do.

J. J. Redick

I've never valued material things. I've always been more attached to people. The pursuit of material things takes time, and I realized my time is very valuable especially during the season. My time with my kids, what I do to take care of my body, and of course any intellectual pursuits I may have on the side. Those are all things that I value.

J. J. Redick

I'm not sure my own family liked me at Duke.

J. J. Redick

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.

J. J. Redick

As we grow up and we're developing, our ego needs to be contained, otherwise we'd all be selfish two- and three-year-olds, screaming every time we didn't get our way.

J. J. Redick

To be able to give back and be able to help people, it means a lot to me. I'm humbled by it, honestly.

J. J. Redick

I think it's important to have open lines of communication and I think the best lines of communication are two-way lines.

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.

J. J. Redick

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

J. J. Redick

I feel like I'm a guy who consistently makes the right play and the right reads offensively and that helps my teammates.

J. J. Redick

I played ACC and NCAA Tournament games in my backyard - these imaginary games - and when I finally got to experience it in real life, it was better than I could imagine.

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.

J. J. Redick

It's always a great joy to give back.

J. J. Redick

Kind of making that leap from a team that wins occasionally to a team that wins the majority of the time, a lot of times just comes down with figuring out how tough it is to win, and then executing down the stretch to do it.

J. J. Redick

As a professional athlete, the onus is on you to take responsibility.

J. J. Redick

As late as my junior year, I was taking Italian at Duke because I thought I was going to have to go overseas and play. Then I had a great senior year and became a lottery pick.

J. J. Redick

Every situation I've been in in my career, you just sort of adapt, and figure out where you can be effective.

I listen to a lot of hip hop artists, and I think hip hop and poetry go hand in hand. The 'Def Jam Poetry' on HBO is just so sick to me.

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

J. J. Redick

New Orleans has an incredible culture. Everybody brings up food first, but I realized there's a lot more to that in terms of music and art and people and history.

J. J. Redick

I feel like I've been mentoring young guys for a long time.

J. J. Redick

I've certainly benefited from the three-point line and the emphasis on shooting them.

J. J. Redick

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

J. J. Redick

I'm not naive - I think it's rare in the NBA every day to actually be able to enjoy being around the people you're working with.

J. J. Redick

My parents always wanted me to do the right thing. My mom, I think her exact words were, 'You're not a chicken in the coop playing in the scraps, you're an eagle.' I was like, 'Oh, OK... ' But really, I've used that throughout my life.

J. J. Redick

My mother is a nutritionist, so we always ate well.

J. J. Redick

At the end of every season, I try to assess what I did well and what I didn't do well.
