A biography for Kyle Korverhasn’t been written yet.
“I don't shoot shots just to shoot shots. I'm always working in a rhythm, working on mechanics. I've got a checklist of the things I need to do with my form, my legs, my arms, all of my mechanics.”
“I've never played the jack-it-up kinda game; that's just not who I am.”
“Every moment is big in the playoffs.”
“Diving is cool to watch. Springboard or platform - it doesn't matter.”
“Sometimes it helps to take a couple days off, as weird as that sounds. Every once in a while, I could just shoot so many shots. You can get so, like, intense with it all. It's like in life, right? We're all created for a sabbath day or for a day of rest. You sometimes need that in shooting, too.”
“If I see something in somebody, if it's something similar in my shot, I feel like it's the same type of thing in life. People who tell you what to do all the time or have all the answers for you, it's like, 'OK, whatever.' But if you've gone through something in life, you can speak to something a little more.”
“I've been shooting my whole life. I don't remember a team where I wasn't playing basketball. It's something I really enjoy, and I shoot for hours at a time.”
“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'm not a cold-weather guy.”
“Everyone wants to be liked.”
“Besides shooting, I think I need to work on everything. I need to get stronger, quicker, work on my ballhandling, and develop a go-to move.”
“I see a David West score 47, and yeah, it'd be cool to put up numbers like that. But I don't need that to make me happy.”
“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.”
“When I first came to Atlanta, I did not want to come here; I got traded here.”
“You're not going to reinvent yourself in the middle of a playoff series.”
“Analytics, math, science has gone into a lot of different areas of the NBA.”
“I have strong faith, and I have strong family.”
“A lot of guys can shoot two, three, four, five, six, seven, 10 feet behind the 3-point line. A lot of people can do it. It's just, when is it going to be considered a good shot? When are coaches going to encourage you to shoot that shot?”
“There are definitely times during a game when you need someone to step up and make a play.”
“The mental side of sports, it's huge. It's such a massive part of the game.”
