In France, if you talk to little boys, they know all of the NBA players and not one single Pro A player.

The day when I am satisfied with what I have, will be the day I retire from the sport.

For me, speed isn't anything I ever practiced. It's all in the genes. Plus, my mom gave me a lot of vitamins when I was small.

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

When I first came in the league, a lot of people were surprised by my knowledge about the history of the game.

Experience is everything. It means so much because it enabled me to learn the game even faster. Playing in the playoffs is the best basketball in the world, and if you can learn under that pressure, succeed under that pressure, it gives you more confidence the next year.

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.
