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

If Tim Duncan had 'Knicks' on his jersey, he'd be a god. He'd be more than Patrick Ewing. With four championships and two MVPs, I think people realize he's one of the best ever, but if he played in New York, he'd be way more famous.

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.

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.

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.

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

I don't think I'm boring.

If Tim Duncan had Knicks on his jersey, he'd be a god.

I love being under pressure. Even the pressure put on me by the media. That is how you outdo yourself.
