There's a lot of big guys who can play-make. We put labels like, 'Oh, he's a point guard, he's a center.' But sometimes your center can play-make for you and not just be the center, boxing out for rebounds and playing in the post.
You have so many games to play, and you can do well in one game but bad in the other ones. The thing you've got to be is consistent.
It's such a long season, and there's so many games, so many trips, you've got to build habits and be consistent with what you do.
The night before games, I try to get some shots up. Early on the game day, I come early in the morning to try to get some shots up. I just try to do the same things: go through the scouting, watch some clips before the game, just try to get my body ready.
I like hip-hop and rock music.
That's the style of basketball I love, playing on the open court.
I'm a humble kid. I grew up with Filathlitikos. There were some people in Filathlitikos that taught to me how to stay humble. It was coach Tzivas that never allowed me to get carried away. That's who I am.
I'm serious about it, and I want to spend my money wise. I'm not going to throw away any money.
Dirk Nowitzki is the best European player, for me, that's ever played the game. He's an unbelievable talent.
Losing someone you love is tough.
It doesn't matter how you're playing: you've got to be vocal - you've got to be aggressive - if you really want to be one of the best in this league.
When I was young and I could dream a bit, I could see myself participating in the slam dunk contest. I've always wanted to experience that.
I like to score when I can, but if I can't do that, I like to do the other things - defense, blocking, rebounding.
It's good to know that your coach cares about you.
I cannot take 30 jumpers a game. Got to have a balance. You've got to get your teammates involved.
I never went to college.
I'm loyal to the people I work with.
Persistent in life? I think, yes, I am. I'm going to do something until I get it right.
I'm a low-profile guy.
I don't like all these flashy cities like L.A. or Miami. I don't know if I could be the same player if I played in those cities.
