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

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

When I look at the system here and look at my position - not just as a basketball player, but when I look around me at the values of the people and the culture and compare them with the values of where I came from - I feel so blessed to be from Africa.

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

I'm the kind of person who always wants more. I was successful materially, but I know life is much more than worldly success. I saw all these blessings God had given me. The way to give thanks is obedience to God.

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