You can't really get into regular football after you watch Australian rules football because it's just two different ends of the totem pole.
To be an owner of a team is something I dream of doing once I retire. Maybe even a soccer team and a basketball team. I can't see myself away from basketball if I retire at 30 or 40. That would be something to look at in the future.
That's what we spoke about in the locker room, character in an NBA game. It's more crucial to play hard in the last minute than the first 39. Anything can happen in the final minute of an NBA game.
That's not my goal, to win rookie of the year. I don't care about that stuff. Individual goals. Usually, the rookie of the year doesn't make it to the playoffs. I'd rather make it to the playoffs.
There's a lot of Bucks jerseys being ordered online and a lot of people asking for jerseys, ... There will be expectations on me as the No. 1 pick, from the media around the world, basically. Every game I'm going to be scrutinized, and I just have to deal with that.
Definitely not. I don't like how it looks, but I don't play basketball for looks.
I think it's unbelievable. Getting your jersey retired, whether it be in high school, college, little league or whatever. It's an amazing achievement. It's something you'll remember forever.
I remember when I was a kid having the Friday night games or the Saturday night games - a South East Melbourne versus Melbourne . . . they were huge, sold out, you couldn't get a ticket,
I will definitely play in the world championships. We will just go trying to take teams out as the underdogs, and then we will be happy.
He's doing OK. The first day, it was a little suspect, but it's OK.
Underdog isn't even the word to describe us. I don't know what we are. I mean, we're under-under-under-underdogs.
We've got to win. These are our rivals, New Jersey, Chicago and Philly.
Some guys want to be the best, and that's how they show it. Me? I think being the best means winning games.
Once he was gone, the guys didn't really flow in their offence as much. There was a lot of pressure on Parker and (Robert) Horry and those guys, and that really helped us.
