I have made millions, I feed my family and have removed it from the ghetto.

I made my dream come true and that is what is more important to me. I could be one of the greatest stars in NBA history, but you can get nothing for granted. I could have abandoned basketball on my 14s, but I have reached 30 and still play the sport I love, in the Euroleague, in a great team and in a great city! “.
