Others are improving very fast, and I'm not improving as fast, and that bothers me.

To me, first and foremost, basketball is a fun sport. It is a hobby, an interest. And second, it is a profession. I feel that I am very fortunate that I can find a professional job that I really, really love.

It's always nice to start the season with a win.

To miss one year is a long time. I've never been in this situation before, and I'm getting as much information as I can about my foot, to see what's the best for me and best for the Rockets.

Sport is the best means of communication between people from different religions and countries.

The Olympic Games is holy. Athletes from around the world, including myself, of course, dream to participate.

I think I'll stick to what I'm used to, my principles, and that is team Number 1 and individual Number 2.
