Bigger than basketball. "

"I will have many more games that I will score 30, 35, or 50 points, but I will not forget this thing. We will remember it all my life. It is really difficult for me, I am known as a quiet person most of my career, but I have responsibilities. A lot of people They listen to us and watch us. "
