"Be true to the game, because the game will be true to you. If you try to shortcut the game, then the game will shortcut you. If you put forth the effort, good things will be bestowed upon you. That's true about the game, and in some ways about life too." ~ Michael Jordan ------------------------------------------ "Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit at home and think about it. Go out and get busy." ~ Dale Carnegie
Lol, because he was a kid when he came to the league. Imagine, you are 19 years old, and you live in Europe. You do not know any English, and you are drafted as the number 1 pick. You go and play with all these ****** in North America, where all they do is making fun of you. It must have been very hard on him...

Take out the salami and cheese MAMA, this ball gameeeeee is OVERRRR!
What a good interview. Even Andrea seemed more receptive to the questions than he usually is. If only the Raptors studio team could figure out how to do their job...
As the worldly GM you are, who likes the international set and is not particularly a N. American centric, you must surely appreciate the adjustment required by a 20 yr. old Italian who just knew enough English to order room service, probably left home for the first time away from mamma, was the first overall pick (had no idea what that meant), had to change his game drastically, listen to the on-court smack, deal with a Smitch and had a helluva time finding a good Italian restaurant....that was really cold.
