In many ways, my job in soccer was like my job in basketball now. I had to protect the goal. That was the name of the game, not letting the other team score.

I'm going to try to fit in where I can and play the way I can.

I just hope to make a difference.

I don’t try to change myself to impress anybody. I’m just who I am.

I am who I am because of the people who I grew up with and where I’m from.

Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best.

My background in playing soccer gave me a natural advantage over many American-born players.

The key to fashion is, you don't want to look like you're trying. You've gotta be natural.

I remember at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Shaq always wanted me to show him steps over and over.

I'm shy, but sometimes my voice is so clear and strong. Your tongue moves, and the Arabic language is so beautiful.

I'm the kind of person who always wants more.

I've now been in this country for thirteen years, since I was seventeen. So this is my second home.

I love fashion as much as I love basketball! It is a great joy for me to express myself through designing my own collection.

My type of basketball is about how to create space, how to maneuver, how to get your shot off.

My life is very simple. I like simplicity and for my time to be my own, so that I have the freedom to devote the majority of it to Islam.

I always keep a ball in the car. You never know.

I don't think Michael had to retire for us to get the spotlight, because when you win, it commands attention.

Basketball is in my blood. It is my obligation to try.

I've now been in this country for thirteen years since I was seventeen. So this is my second home.
