The best player I've ever played against is Kobe Bryant. I have seen him do some stuff that is just unbelievable.

Basketball gave me a lot, which is why I want to stay connected with this sport later on, maybe working with young people. But it would be more in the background. Being in the spotlight was never really my thing. I never wanted to be famous.

As a newcomer, I was often expected to carry the bags of the older players, or get them burgers. That can make you feel pretty miserable.

Growing up, my idols were Lucky Luke and Jolly Jumper. And Scottie Pippen.

If you do the best you can, you have nothing to be ashamed of. A defeat is not a disgrace.

If theres an injury, for a couple games, you can have guys step in. But for a long period of time, it always catches up with you.

I know, basketball is a dance. I didn't understand the significance of that type of training at first. I was supposed to read poems.
