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.

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

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

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 there is talk about the best point guards, sometimes they dont talk about me. But that is not my main motivation. They can talk about Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, Deron Williams, and Chris Paul. I still have the most rings.

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.

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