And I noticed that image and I used to be like ‘wow,’ he by no means confirmed it to me when he was with me in ASVEL. And he waited that second the place when he received drafted to point out that image to the world. And I noticed him with my jersey. I used to be like ‘oh, wow.’ So the way in which that Michael [Jordan] impressed me, I felt very proud that I encourage some one like that.”
