It is just a great honour to be representing Great Britain.

I am big fan of Arsenal.

It's no good playing through pain if you're damaging yourself.

I think it's always going to be strange for me facing the Bulls.

Because I was the youngest boy, I was always my mom's favorite - and my brothers were always tough on me.

There are a lot of people in Chicago that I miss. I was there one year out of high school. So I basically grew up there.

When I started playing basketball, I hated it because football had always been my sport.

I never knew a regular childhood, but I was always surrounded by love.

I wouldn't like to be invisible for a day. But if I was... I'd probably be up to no good.

Here in the U.K., I want basketball to get better. I want the kids to have more playgrounds. I want the kids to have more attention. I want basketball to be on TV more often. But I really don't care if I walk down the street and somebody recognises me or not.

I know how to put the ball in the hoop.

At 13, I concentrated on my school work and playing sports, which, to this day, is something I still believe is very, very important.

I don't play for recognition.

My whole life, every time I've been down, I've found a way to turn it around.

Manute Bol taught my family the game of basketball.

When you have a new coach, a couple new guys, and a young team, the frustrating part throughout the year is the up and down.

I only lived in Sudan until I was four years, so I cannot really relate to that. It is just a different lifestyle.

I don't like sneaking up on people.

A lot of people expect a lot of things out of me.

You always - as a basketball player, as a competitor - that's where you speak most: on the court.

When I go out there, I try to do everything I can to win. That doesn't mean I have to score more than the other team; it may mean stopping the other team.

I have friends growing up in Egypt. I have friends in England. And they just can't believe that what I used to say, it used to be almost like a joke. I used to say I'll be in the NBA one day.

I am extremely proud to be a part of the NBA's first game in Africa. Coming from South Sudan and having participated in the Basketball without Borders Africa camps in Johannesburg previously, I am truly honored to be part of this historic event.

I've always been low key, do my thing, do what I got to do, and get on with it.
