My favorite memory is my five years with the Nuggets. From my first day to my last day is a great memory. There wasn't a year that I was a Nugget that I didn't think we succeeded.

It's easy to be a spokesman and ambassador for a great organization like the NBA. I thank Commissioner David Stern for putting that trust in me to serve the NBA around the globe.

I usually just speak in English when I'm on the basketball court. For some reason, my mind never even tried to cross any other language when I'm playing basketball.

After spending more than 17 years playing for the NBA, in the summertime, I always came back to community service and different basketball clinics.

My decision leaving the Nuggets was based on the organization not saying they had the cap room to sign me.

The doctors and nurses at the Biamba Marie Mutombo Hospital are saving lives every day and helping improve health care in the DRC which has been ravaged by more than a decade of war and disease.

I come from a large family, but I was not raised with a fortune. Something more was left me, and that was family values.
