Look, I'm not trying to be humble and all of that. Who do you think compares the most right now to your game? You were a legendary player some people say you’re the best Premier League player ever. And although I was on the other side of the water: for me, what he did, it transmitted, especially for a Black guy. Whoever was in front of him, he was telling you, "I'm better than you." That, still now, gives me goosebumps because that guy did so much. And so Allen Iverson for me was just the guy telling everybody, "You can do it no matter what." No matter what, if you play, and if you live your life, the way he was, wearing his heart on his sleeves, playing hard no matter what. But sometimes it's not about what you win, it's about what you transmit and how you transcend and what you stand for. Look, Allen Iverson didn't win the title, as we all know. What was it like to go through that experience? How much did you love Allen Iverson? In 2001, you went to Philadelphia and Los Angeles for a French broadcasting crew for the NBA Finals to watch Allen Iverson. I thought that was always the sport that I wanted to maybe play if I could, but I cannot. The beauty of it, just everything, it seems effortless when those guys do it. From that moment on, I was like, "I love that sport." What I like about basketball is the pace of it.
