Ambassador Jimenez has already assured me that the Cuban Sports Ministry has allowed Raul to come back. He's arriving this month.

It was only when we stepped on to the basketball court when we paid attention to the media and whatever was being said about us by everyone. When we went back to the hotel, it was about our personal life and about enjoying ourselves.

There's going to be more talent to come.

We were pretty much upset with the fact that they called us a reform team. We are not a reform team. We are a public high school. We were really upset coming into this game. We just knew that we were going to face them at 10 o'clock this morning and that we were going to take out our anger and frustration on them.

We knew we were going back, but it's going to be a good experience for the rookies. Being in that environment is really going to be good for them.

I had to show them my drop step that I was working on the whole summer. I thought that was the proper time.
