I must have been 11-12 when my family moved to Europe. It was at the school's court where the neighbourhood kids gathered to hang around after school.

Two friends came to my flat and said "let's go to learn to play BB" and I started to attend trainings, I was 7 yo. First time I tried to shoot the basket, probably 5 yo.

I played for my class team for the in-school championship in junior high. We won all titles undefeated all three seasons.

My role was to guard the opponent guards like a mad dog and not to ask for passes in offense. My highlight was getting called an unsportsmanlike when I threw the opponent who was on fast break out of bounds.

Krstic would be proud to see me in that play.

Very interesting.

I was more like Power Forward.

I was 6 when i was introduced to basketball. We lived in Harlem, NY. My father took me to P.S. 76 school park and lifted me up as I shot the ball. I remember the goal being a trash can that was cut in half and wired up. When I was a little older I played basketball with friends in school yards and public courts all across Harlem. Then eventually all across NYC touring with little league teams. I played point guard and 2.
