I watched the Bulls growing up. To be part of an organization like that is great.

You're always trying to get better. You're always tinkering. You're always learning new things.

There are definitely times during a game when you need someone to step up and make a play.

I would say moving to Iowa turned out to be the best thing for my basketball career.

When you are a footballer, you eat, sleep, and breathe football. If I have a bad training session, I can go home and do whatever I want, but you still feel an emptiness.

With a game, you're only one part of a team, and what emerges at launch is very much the culmination of the whole team's efforts. You can be proud of playing your part, but it doesn't ever belong to you.

I spend a little time every day to play sports.

I've played in a few Champions League matches and got into quarter-finals - sometimes unluckily knocked out - but you have to prepare like any other football match: you have to play the game, not the occasion. That's been instilled in me since I was a kid.
