Definitely not. I don't like how it looks, but I don't play basketball for looks.
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.
It's very special for me to come and see them play.
I'm just trying to play hard. I'm just proving a point to myself that I can play in this league.
I've had two unlucky injuries that are the equivalent of walking under 1,000 ladders and seeing 1,000 black cats.
Milwaukee is different from what I'm used to. It's cold and it's much more of an old town, a traditional city. When I first got here, compared to the cities I'm used to, Milwaukee was the complete opposite. It took awhile but I'm adjusted to it now.
I'd rather have this win and not score much. Personal accolades at this time of the year don't really matter.
I'm just happy to be a part of the weekend. To be an All-Star is something very special, and that will take a couple years. It might not happen next year, it might happen the year after ? but it's definitely a goal I have in my sights.
It'll be fun, but it's more of a fan thing. To me, winning games and getting to the playoffs is the big thing.
It's frustrating. We don't play Phoenix many times, so it's kind of hard to adjust to their style of play.
