The legacy thing is very overrated.

I just play to win every game.

I played because I loved doing it, out of respect and appreciation.

Well, the Argentinians are very attached to their athletes, and you know, there are some cities with a big Argentinean community. Miami is the main one for sure, Orlando, Houston, Denver.

I know when I am coming with the second unit, the team is kind of playing for me. I am kind of 'The Man' in there.

I knew I was becoming popular in Argentina. I was starting to feel that some companies in Argentina were wanting to associate with me, so I just wanted to be a facilitator to raise funds and distribute them the way I thought was fair and to institutions that I trusted.

Myself and Tony Parker must be aggressive and attack the rim, because when we do so, we are at our best, and that opens up perimeter opportunities.

If you take going to the bench as a demotion or something that's terrible, you start with a bad attitude.

If you live your life thinking about your legacy or what you're going to leave, you don't worry than you add another concern. Just live your life every single day, do the best you can and that's more of my motto than leaving a legacy.

Always been very comfortable and happy with my role with the Spurs.

It's easy to remember the wins, the good moments, the highs.

I learned from many players over the years.

I think Wade is more explosive than I am. He is very tough to cover with his explosiveness, but I started doing the Euro-Step before he did.

Every time we play, we want to win, that's for sure. It may be the World Championship, the Olympics, the NBA Championship or the South American Championship, but we always want to win.

It's not like I was a one-of-a-kind talented guy at 18 who made it to the NBA and have been playing in All-Star Games ever since.

I just play the game the only way I know. And I have no regrets.

I'm a very lucky man.

I'm way more worried on my future well-being, and my kids, and my family, where we are going to live and what we are going to do, than what is going to happen with the Spurs. With all due respect, of course. I love the franchise, and I'm probably going to be attached in some way.

You could come out and play a flawless game and still lose to a quality team; you could do things right, but they hit shots and things happen.

I guess the triple-double is a big deal in the States. For me, it's not.

What I miss the most is the locker room, the dinners after the games. The preparation, the sense of going out there and be a team.

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

It's not always about winning a game or winning a championship.

What the Food Bank does is unbelievable to me.

Sometimes you play and you think you're doing one thing, and then you don't. The coaches are the ones who see it the best way.

Even the bad moments, I'm proud of them too.

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

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 started playing pro in Argentina. Then I went to second division in Italy. Then after a lot of work, I made it to first division. And at 25, I got here in the NBA.

I have a real sense of appreciation of being in the NBA with all that I'd gone through.

The Madison Square Garden is a great arena to play at.

I've been very lucky to play with so many gifted players.

We left, I think, a footprint in FIBA basketball. Proud of it.

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

When I got to the league, nobody knew me.

Forever is a very wide word, but I'll be connected to the Spurs, if not contractually at least emotionally.

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

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

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.

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 bet it isn't easy to have each one of you moves overanalyzed.

We all wish to be healthy all the time, and it doesn't happen like that.

You try to get the best shots possible, try to find the open teammate.

It's a different thing when you play on a team that has to win, that doesn't consider it a good year unless you win the championship.

My city was very basketball-minded so I was born playing basketball and I didn't like playing soccer that much.

I never even think of playing soccer.

I watched the NBA a lot growing up. I was a big fan, especially of the Bulls in the early 90s.

There were a lot of people I really admired and that I liked watching, but not that I tried to compare myself or emulate or nothing like that.

I know with Coach Messina I started to understand where my teammates were, how to use them and make them better for the benefit of the team.
