Me and EP have become really good friends. I’m his “rookie” and he’s been showing me around the city. I didn’t have a car during my first couple of months in Orlando—I do now—so EP would drive me around a lot and we would go sightseeing. So far so good, even though Orlando is strange for me. We have nothing even the same as there is in Barcelona. There are not too many things to do here, but I like it. I’m actually planning to visit some children at a local hospital at the end of the month.
Our team has a ton of special handshakes, especially with EP and Victor Oladipo—AG, too. I have one with everybody; it’s special between us. I’m not going to repeat something that I do with them. Also, the handshakes are hard. If I do them with anyone, we’re going to mess up. It takes three days of practice.
But I’m really happy with point guard. I’m able to play multiple positions on the court. I’m not going to refuse point guard and I’m not going to reject the opportunity. I’m going to step into it; that’s me, that’s my character. I want to help my team, so playing any role just comes naturally for me.
I love his attitude.
