He's grown up a lot. His maturity level is night and day. When you get a chance to play every day, you have no choice but to go out and try to do a job.
People are dying in wars, and I get an opportunity to play for my country. It's not that hard of a decision. You see Michael Jordan, Charles Barkley, Magic Johnson and all those guys stand on a podium. I have the chance to do that.
To be around the guys who said yes to this was a treat in itself. I got a chance to know different personalities, and I think it was pretty awesome that we were able to do this. The results weren't what we would like to have, but I would do it again any time.
For a guy that doesn't get a chance to hit a lot, he helped himself out, and it was a little boost for us.
He's one of those guys, you're just glad you had a chance to know him. He took care of me.
