Avery Bradley

“It's the best feeling in the world. I'm pretty sure if you don't have kids, you hear everybody say that. It's the most amazing feeling in the world seeing somebody that's just like you.”

“It's nice to be back in front of the fans and being in Boston.”

“I wanted to challenge myself to reach my full potential as a player.”

“Because I am so quiet, you don't really know what I'm thinking. You don't know if I'm working hard on my game, you really don't know.”

“I feel like I'm one of the rare cases in this league of a two-way player. I feel like it's hard for certain people to be able to coach me because of that.”

“I'm just ready to do whatever my team needs me to do. I'm just going to be prepared and ready to go out there and do my role, and do whatever my team needs me to do to win games.”

“No matter who I'm playing against, they're going to say that I'm one of the toughest guys they play, for sure.”

“I'm just excited to be here in Miami and have an opportunity to be part of a great culture like this.”

“Al Horford is a very good player; a great team player.”

“Every night, you're going up against an elite guard and there's really nothing you can do. You either have to be God-gifted and move your feet, or else you're toast.”

“I want people to see me as a two-way player. A defensive player and an offensive player.”

“I'm so excited to play with Udonis Haslem.”

“Once you're able to win, you're able to be more established as a player as well. It's hand in hand. And then you can show more parts of your game.”

“The only thing I wanted to change in the past was being a little bit more disciplined on the defensive end.”

“If you ask somebody who played basketball against me in the first grade and you watch a tape, it's been with me since I was a kid. I've always had this mentality to go out there and defend.”

“That's what the game is supposed to be about: always wanting to get better, be the best you can be. I hold myself to that every single summer, every single year.”

“I think the thing that helps you get to the next level is being able to affect the game in different ways. And that's me getting my teammates shots instead of me just coming off pin-downs.”

“I would hope no one would be satisfied with a loss.”

“The actual act of sitting out doesn't directly fight systemic racism. But it does highlight the reality that without black athletes, the NBA wouldn't be what it is today. The league has a responsibility to our communities in helping to empower us - just as we have made the NBA brand strong.”

“When I see one of my teammates make a good play, to keep that energy going, I feel like that's what I do on the defensive end, and then make a good offensive play.”
