Endangered species are our friends.

First of all, I'm not buff enough. I got pushed away from the basket. And even when I didn't, I couldn't get anyone to throw me a pass.

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.

My American strength coach said he liked me better before I could speak English.

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

Moving to the US was quite a transition for me, to say the least! There were, and still are so many new things to get used to: the language, food, culture, even the style of basketball is different here!

The NBA is a big family, and I think of all these rookies as my brothers. I still believe I am blue collar among the All-Stars.
