But you don't have to look at boundaries when you are looking at a man - at the character of a man. The question is: What do you stand for? Are you a follower, or are you a leader?
Tags: America, Character, MenI've now been in this country for thirteen years, since I was seventeen. So this is my second home.
Tags: Country, Home, SinceBeing from Africa is the best thing that could have ever, ever happened to me. I cannot see it any other way. All of my fundamental principles that were instilled in me in my home, from my childhood, are still with me.

Tags: Basketball, Blood, TryWhen I look at the system here and look at my position - not just as a basketball player, but when I look around me at the values of the people and the culture and compare them with the values of where I came from - I feel so blessed to be from Africa.

Tags: Basketball, Great, LoveI'm shy, but sometimes my voice is so clear and strong. Your tongue moves, and the Arabic language is so beautiful.
Tags: Beautiful, Sometimes, StrongI'm the kind of person who always wants more.
Tags: WantsMy background playing soccer gave me a natural advantage over many of the American-born players.
Tags: Natural, Playing, SoccerMy type of basketball is about how to create space, how to maneuver, how to get your shot off.
Tags: Basketball, Off, SpaceAllah says in the Qur'an not to despise one another. So the criterion in Islam is not color or social status. It's who is most righteous.
