"I love being under pressure. Even the pressure put on me by the media. That is how you outdo yourself."
"When Boston and Orlando told me they were going to pick me at 21 and 22, I figured I don't need to do a workout for a second -round team. Boston and Orlando never drafted me because they said I was too skinny and no European point guard will make it in the League."

"When there is talk about the best point guards, sometimes they dont talk about me. But that is not my main motivation. They can talk about Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, Deron Williams, and Chris Paul. I still have the most rings."
"I want to follow in my father's footsteps, but do it better."
"The day when I am satisfied with what I have, will be the day I retire from the sport."
"I still have a lot of room for improvement. I need to become a more skilled player."
"Experience is everything. It means so much because it enabled me to learn the game even faster. Playing in the playoffs is the best basketball in the world, and if you can learn under that pressure, succeed under that pressure, it gives you more confidence the next year."
