When you leave a club like Liverpool, you have to go somewhere you'll feel comfortable and progress as a player. To come to Stoke was an easy decision.
You cannot buy players and know, for sure, that they can deliver. You cannot know because football is a team sport.
It is very difficult in the transfer market for the teams that need to improve their squads.
Playing with Michael Jordan would be a great opportunity for me. I would have someone around I could learn a lot from. I look up to him as a player and as a person, and that would make me a better player and person.
I've always had a good relationship with superstar players. I don't really demand the ball a lot.
Basketball is a lifelong game. You continue to learn from the game day in and day out, and all along the way, you get better.
I think it's the hardest part for about 80 percent of the guys in the NBA. That's just the way it is in the NBA, unless you're a mega superstar. You're just going to play wherever you go. You try to find the right fit and the right team with the right system and the right coach at the right time.
Brazil's always had great players, both at home and abroad, but we need to put all that talent together and mould a team out of it.

I was just taught, the team goes how the point guard goes.
Quarterbacks coach, I would do at Tennessee. Head coach? Absolutely not.
If I get a chance, high pick and roll more. I want some triple doubles. I've got to get my handle right so I can pass and get it to guys where they can make shots.
The opportunity to coach Kerry Kittles I wouldn't give up for anything.
When there were just eight teams in each of the big leagues, I was always told, 'It's hard to come up, but it's just hard to stay in the big leagues.' That's because there's always somebody. The Cardinals had so many minor league clubs and had so many good ballplayers.
