Athlete

I've never been a great shooter. I'm not a regular foreigner player.

That is what I'm going to remember when I retire, the rings I have. Not the fact I played 28 minutes or 33 or my name being called in the starting lineup.

I want the best for the Spurs.

It's always tough to see a teammate go unless he is willing to go.

I just consider myself a player, a team player.

I'm very low-key.

The game gave me so much, I am in debt forever.

It makes me feel good to do some things for my people. I believe we really help. I know we are not changing the world, but we try to help different people in different situations and we think we are accomplishing it.

I just play to win every game.

I think most of the compliments I've received during the years has been about my competitiveness. My desire to win and do things for the team to get to that goal. I think that was the one I heard the most.

Not one Argentinian in history had made it to the NBA. So why was it going to be me? There was no way me or anyone that was near me could ever envision a career like this.

I don't think about drawing the contact on purpose. I just want to get to the line.

I don't understand people who would move, even inside the city, and get rid of their dog.

I really don't care about coming from the bench if that helps the team to win a championship.

When you can't dunk anymore, you have to find a way to make it into the news.

I been asked about my legacy and I really don't care much about the legacy.

If I'm not playing good, it's just because I'm not playing good, not because my body is limiting me.

It depends a lot on the character of the players, how you respond under pressure.

I played until I felt like it. Some have to retire due to injuries or other issues ahead of time. But I played until I was 40 years old.

I don't listen to music. I'm not that type of guy.
