I had to play on many other teams before I made it on the Spurs. When you make that kind of journey, it only helps you when you get here.

I was happy to be in the Argentina league. Then I started to play slowly, and I went to Italy and I started in the second division.

I know with Coach Messina I started to understand where my teammates were, how to use them and make them better for the benefit of the team.

There were a lot of people I really admired and that I liked watching, but not that I tried to compare myself or emulate or nothing like that.

I watched the NBA a lot growing up. I was a big fan, especially of the Bulls in the early 90s.

I never even think of playing soccer.

My city was very basketball-minded so I was born playing basketball and I didn't like playing soccer that much.

Every time we play, we want to win, that's for sure. It may be the World Championship, the Olympics, the NBA Championship or the South American Championship, but we always want to win.

I know I'm not the most orthodox kind of player. I just feel normal being like that.

I've never been a great shooter. I'm not a regular foreigner player.
