As a player, I was very lucky to have so many good managers in my career. I remember the first two at Lecce: Eugenio Fascetti and Carlo Mazzone. They were very important for me and my growth.

I think the past is not important. For every player, for every single player, the past stay there. If you did well in the past, OK.

To be captain and win a lot at Juventus, to play for 20 years, to play in the World Cup, European Cup, I think I had a good career, no?

I try to dress well. Not just now at Chelsea, but all my career, at my clubs and the national team in Italy, I like to wear a nice suit on the touchline.

You know, I love wearing heels. I wish I could wear them all the time, but, you know, my sport doesn't really permit it.

It's college basketball and there's a certain amount of uncertainty. As an assistant coach, you do the best job you can to win.

Eric has pro athletes on both sides of his family - plus, I used to play sports - so I'm sure our son will develop athletic ability.

I'd rather be a face for happiness and doing things that you have a passion for, rather than faking it and pretending like I'm this face of women's basketball, when I can't stand the sport at all.
