“To build a friendship takes so much time and so many years. To ruin it, just sec…” — Vlade Divac

I am thankful to the Kings organization, all the Kings fans, my family and all the people who supported me throughout my career.

Well, the league is changing every year. It changed when I came. It changed before me. First of all, we have to be thankful for all those guys in the '60s and '70s. They made this league one of the best sports leagues in the world.

People in the NBA, as far as Europeans or international players, they respect them now. I didn't have any respect from anybody. I had to earn my way.

Throughout my professional basketball career, I have always voiced my patriotism for my native land.
