I thought basketball was a game for women. My mother played basketball, and so did my sister.

Obviously, (winning the division) is big. To be No. 1 is always important.

I lost control of myself a couple times in the playoffs. I have to keep cooler in the future.

I wanted to avoid service, because I was on the road to becoming a professional basketball player.

I played all kinds of sports when I was young: tennis, handball, basketball, some soccer. I focused on basketball when I was 16 or 17 and then came to the U.S. when I was 20.

As a star you never know when people are really serious.

This feeling to be on the best team of the world is just indescribable.
