I'm shy, but sometimes my voice is so clear and strong.

I’ve now been in this country for thirteen years, since I was seventeen. So this is my second home.

I don’t think Michael had to retire for us to get the spotlight, because when you win, it commands attention.

The key to fashion is, you don’t want to look like you’re trying. You’ve gotta be natural.

When I look at the system here and look at my position – not just as a basketball player, but when I look around me at the values of the people and the culture and compare them with the values of where I came from – I feel so blessed to be from Africa.

All these boundaries – Africa, Asia, Malaysia, America – are set by men. But you don’t have to look at boundaries when you are looking at a man – at the character of a man. The question is: What do you stand for? Are you a follower, or are you a leader?

It’s not up to anyone else to make me give my best.

When you get to that level, it’s not a matter of talent anymore – because all the players are so talented – it’s about preparation, about playing smart and making good decisions.

The most important thing in a person’s life is his faith and how he translates his faith into practical deeds.

I’m the kind of person who always wants more.
