If we go to the conference finals and people say we had a bad season, I'll take that.

I want to become the first European floor leader to succeed in the NBA. I want to be the standard-bearer and prove we can succeed here.

I still have a lot of room for improvement. I need to become a more skilled player.

When Boston and Orlando told me they were going to pick me at 21 and 22, I figured I don't need to do a workout for a second -round team. Boston and Orlando never drafted me because they said I was too skinny and no European point guard will make it in the League.

Getting up at three in the morning to watch Michael Jordan, I never dreamed one day I would be kissing that trophy.

You're going to see ups and downs your whole career.

I want to follow in my father's footsteps, but do it better.
