I want to do the best I can in the NBA. After three or four years, I want people to know who Scottie Pippen is.
When I was growing up, I never thought I would play in the NBA.
I think when you come from a small college like I did, then you have to use every opportunity available to you.
The things that have happened for me, to me, have helped me grow up. Especially the passing of my father. That was something that took me to another level of growing and maturing. That's whan I started to be more of a man.
At the point when I lost my father, it really made me want to be like a father and be like my father. It was a real turning point for me because it helped me mature - it made me think about being responsible because I wasn't the only one I had to think about.
I feel like I'm a guy who gets other guys shots.
The key about playing internationally is the confidence that you gain. Not only do you train with some of the best players in the NBA, but you compete against some of the best players in the world.
To have a beautiful house on the outside is one thing... Once you get inside, that's what really makes a home.
