Born Quote by Boban Marjanovic
“Every once in a while you must put in hard work in both ways. If you're born with skills, you must keep it going to build to be perfect. If you don't have it, you try to work to improve your shot. I think I do both. Some things I improve, some things I'm born with.”

![“I think [Otto Porter Junior] just took a couple tough shots so far - a couple tough jump shots - but I think he has a great mid-range game, he's very tall and can create his shot. So, I think with more spacing he'll get easier shots, I think he'll be fine.” quote by John Wall](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/d56/john-wall-9201_couple_i-think-otto-porter-junior-just-took-a-c_805383.jpg)
