Basketball, in America, is like a culture. It is like a foreigner learning a new language. It is difficult to learn foreign languages and it will also be difficult for me to learn the culture for basketball here.

If you're going to learn a new language, you can't try to be perfect. You'll stop yourself from talking. You just have to let go.

For me, French is so rich and so sacred that learning it is like learning a foreign language.

We?re all basketball players, and were all out there on the court, ... We all live together on this earth.

I really can?t describe it. It completely surpasses what I imagined, ... Basketball is my job. It?s something I do and can adjust to quickly. The media, I?m a little bit of a stranger to. So it?s a little difficult to adjust.

Putting our ecosystem in great peril is certainly not a part of Chinese culture that I know.
