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

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

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.

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

The playoffs is all about showing heart and playing together.

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.
