It's part of the game. But it's frustrating because I was saying the same thing that Detroit was saying but I said it and I get T-ed up. And then the possession they say it but they don't get T-ed. I guess that's one of the things I have to deal with. I'm still a rookie.
It's just great to be out here, ... I was just thankful to be living my dream of playing in the NBA.
not as slow as Luc Longley. I can shoot better, I'm more competitive. So I think it's not even fair to bring that name up.
Definitely not. I don't like how it looks, but I don't play basketball for looks.
I'm definitely honoured to be the No. 1 ticket-holder. I've followed the league since I was a kid and I've got some close friends playing in the NBL.
I will definitely play in the world championships. We will just go trying to take teams out as the underdogs, and then we will be happy.
It's been a challenge, but at the same time it's been a learning experience and I'm having fun with the guys on the team.
I'm definitely going to be coming into sport. It will be in Australia. Basketball will hopefully be the priority,
Some American guys talk and try to intimidate you. Basketball is basketball. You put the ball in the hole, and you're going to win the game. You've just got to keep playing your game.
Basketball is a global game, just like soccer is a global game. You see the Manu Ginobilis and Yao Mings of the world. We can play the game in every country.
I don't care about numbers, man, I just want to win basketball games, ... I just want to get Milwaukee back in the playoffs, and if we do that I'll be happy.
I guess if you're a normal person and all of a sudden you're getting $10 million a year, it can go to your head.
I caught up with a lot of family. I didn't do much in Croatia. Then I went back to Australia and tried to get back on the weights. It wasn't a circus like it was here before the draft.
It's kind of hard to adjust to their style of play. We tried to throw some different looks at them, but at the end of the day, it wasn't really up to us. It was up to their missed shots.
