Kyle Korver was the 2nd oldest player at the age of 33 to make his 1st all star appearance.<\/p>\n
Prior to joining the Atlanta Hawks in 2012, he’d only started in 10 career games.<\/p>\n
As Kyle mentions below, hard work, the right attitude, and surrounding yourself with the right people can help you achieve goals that others did not believe you could attain.<\/p>\n
“I think there\u2019s something to who knows what can happen when you put your heart and soul into something and do the daily work every day and try to be consistent and try to be open minded,” said Korver. “And surround yourself with people who can make you better. Who knows what can happen? It\u2019s kind of a cool message, I suppose. There\u2019s the saying: \u2018It takes a village to raise a child.\u2019 I just try to be open minded and learn from it all.”<\/p>\n
“It wasn\u2019t always easy. There were a lot of hard moments and sometimes you learn from the end of the bench. Sometimes you learn from injuries. If you can keep a good attitude and keep on working eventually situations change and you can put those things to use.”<\/p>\n
“I\u2019ve always thought of myself as a basketball player. Shooting should always be what I do best, but I enjoy the whole game. I enjoy defense. I enjoy passing. I love setting screens. I like coming in and trying to block a shot on the weak side. I love x’s and o’s. I love working, For me, I\u2019ve never thought of myself if I was labeled as a shooter, you can go and say whatever you want. I know that I love the whole game of basketball. So that\u2019s what I\u2019ve always believed in. Maybe now some people are changing their opinions a little bit and that\u2019s great, but it really doesn\u2019t matter because I have the most amazing job. I play basketball and I can keep working on getting better.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
