I learned how to play against players better than me.

I always played like this, unpredictable.

The fans in the United States, they are, well, more polite. The fans in Argentina can get, well, crazy.

There are moments where we forgot what got us to where we are now. ... We stopped moving the ball. We know how it works. We are playing a great team with great players, and we've got to be close to perfect to win.

We Latinos are in a growing stage in the NBA. It's all part of the international basketball boom.

If I'm on the court, I have to do what I do best and that's try to go hard to the basket.

Winning an NBA championship is the biggest thing that can happen professionally because it's the top. But representing your country-with more than 30 million people cheering for you and then seeing you up there on the podium-it's hard to find any more words to put on that.
