As I grew older, it wasn't just to be in the NBA. The dream was to be successful in the NBA.
I just wanted to get to the NBA. I never thought I would have a career that I've had now.
My dream was to be in the NBA. I wasn't really focused on being a star player on a team. I just wanted to make it to the NBA. I've been blessed for the opportunities to be in the Finals, been in the playoffs ever since I've been in the NBA.
After I got to the NBA, I had one goal: stay in the league for a while.
I've done did a lot of things in the NBA, made a lot of stuff, so I'm happy with what I've done.
Any chance a rookie gets to go play in the playoffs, that should be a boost going into summer league. That should be a boost for the rest of your career. That's something that a lot of rookies can't say they did.
Just being in the NBA is crazy and also after every bucket that I make or every pass it's kind of like, 'Woah, I just did that.' It's been awesome.
Getting to the NBA really helped me personally on a lot of levels. I liked it so much that I wanted to stay there.
If you want to know who Zaza Pachulia is and you don't know, talk to any of my teammates. Teammates, coaches, I played over 1,000 games.
It's the Basketball Hall of Fame, not the NBA Hall of Fame. So, for basketball, I played in Olympics; I played in the Junior Olympics. With what I've done and given to basketball is all Hall of Fame.
