I always felt comfortable looking at the court.
It's a saying if coach likes and sees good stuff in you and wants you to play he'll pick on you, he'll make you work and do things right. Once he stops talking to you, you know you're done.
I thought those three years when we won championships, I really was good enough to play in the All-Star game. I felt I deserved to be in the top whatever that would be, the top 20-some players in the league. Really felt that comfortable and confident on the basketball court.
I know Steve Kerr well and his basketball IQ is really high. He knows everything about basketball.
It feels great to have the chance to play with the Chicago Bulls.
Maybe two or three years will be enough for me to grow into a good NBA player.
I try to imagine what it will be like to play for the Bulls. I don't think I will be able to feel it before I step on the court at Chicago Stadium.
I worry for the future of the world. For my children.
My uncle was almost hit by a sniper while dropping his son at basketball practice.
Scottie was just a different character than Michael. He was more the soft side. Every once in a while he would explode, but he would help me. Michael on the other end was almost always aggressive.
I actually played a lot of other sports - table tennis and soccer for a long time.
It was almost an accident that I got into basketball at all but fortunately it wasn't too late and I was able to be a part of a great generation for the sport.
When I first started playing, we practiced nine hours a day. Five and a half to six hours of those were working on the fundamentals.
Obviously the game is more enjoyable when the ball is shared and everybody looks for each other on both ends of the floor.
I am not a prima donna. It's just that I feel cold on the bench.
I have to go to the NBA and try.
Only Vlade Divac go first year he play. The rest of the guys from Europe sit on the bench.
I am a basketball player. For me to sit on the bench at 21, 22, not what I wanted.
I don't think the people in Chicago really knew exactly who I was in the seven years I was there.
I would say it was my fault, my choice to not allow people to know who I was. Places I went, people I knew, they knew the way Toni Kukoc was as a person and they all treated me great. Everyone else who just read the newspapers and tried to learn about me, I guess I was not that good of a guy.
