I'm not the kind of guy who just goes up to women.

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

Of course parents want their children to confide in them.

Off the floor I'm really laid back, like nothing really fazes me too much. But on the floor I do get emotional and a little carried away. However, I started playing when I was 13 to have fun with my teammates, and that never stopped. I enjoy traveling and having fun in the locker room with the guys. Life is too short to be miserable.

I'm not the kind of guy who just goes up to women.

I take my sport damned seriously. Basketball is my life. There are other people who go into important games as if they were any other game. I'm a brooder and I spend a lot of time thinking about my opponent, about the things he can do and about what I have to do to win. I don't think I'll ever be able to change that.

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