It's like a new life. New country, and in the family we have a new member. I keep telling people I feel like I'm 22 again.

I still haven't seen a tape of that game, only when they've showed highlights in Argentina, and almost everyone starts crying. But it taught us a lot of things for the Olympic games.

[In my youth], I played a little soccer but I think because of my height and my friends I got involved in basketball. It was my passion since I was young. I started playing at age 7, so I've been playing for quite a while.

Playing in Europe so many years, you see more strategy, not so much freestyle game. You learn how to make plays for your teammates. For me, that is one of my powers.
