I don't like to criticise referees, because I believe it is a very complicated job.

At the World Cup, most teams changed their style when they played us and maybe were more defensive. In the final, we didn't know if Holland were going to do the same, but the important thing was we beat them in the end.

I would like to praise all of my coaches, from Pep to the first I had as a kid, because all of them have helped make me who I am.

Football was much, much more than I hoped it would be. If I dreamed as a kid, I could never have foreseen such amazing things.

I wasn't a great athlete.

I believe that whatever we have, regardless of a trade being done or not, I feel we have a shot. I've just got to believe that we're going to be all right. I've got to just play basketball.

Basketball talent is basketball talent, no matter if it comes from the suburbs or the city. Take the time to know and understand me before you judge me. Only God can do that. Roses do grow from concrete!

Playing basketball all my life, I've collected a lot of different basketball shoes. It's pretty much all I wear.
