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

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

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

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.

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

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

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