2-What advantages does the world stars team have over the US teams, on paper?

-If we play for real, we can beat these two teams. Of course, I don't know what will happen here. But I think everyone will play seriously. That's the rule, that's what's being said.

3-Ime Udoka, the Rockets. Season review, so far.

-I think we're having a very good season. Because the team is so good, expectations are very high. When we get bad results, there's a noticeable negative energy within the team, just like everyone else. I find that exaggerated. We have some serious shortcomings, but if we had won the last game, we would have finished 3rd in the All-Star break. Of course, there will be ups and downs; it's a long and difficult season. But as I said, we are fighters. Ime has a strong character, so he brings that toughness to the team. All these disappointments are normal because we are a very good team.

I'm happy with where we are right now because we're generally a team that improves after the All-Star break.

4- Biggest motivation?

-My family.

You know I've been playing basketball till August, thats harder then it looks. But thats why I'm here, thats what we've been paid for. And we're doing work we love, which I think is the most important thing.

5- Can you name the 5 players here who impressed you the most with their character and performance? From your perspective?

• KD. The 1st

• Curry is here. He's injured tho. Big respect

• Jokic of course

• LeBron

• 5.. they 're all great charecters -You have to pick one

  I love KAT. Last year, even though I was an All-Star rookie, he took a lot of care of me. So I have extra respect for him.
