I remember the Vince Carter Raptor days: playing all the video games with him. Playing against him is one thing; having a chance to learn from him is a whole - another level of excitement.

Willie Cauley-Stein

My very first NBA game was against the Los Angeles Lakers; it was a pre-season game against Magic Johnson.

Muggsy Bogues

Now, if you're an NBA fan, you know what Vince Carter did. I came up with a line about him: 'Half-man, half-amazing.'

Shaquille O'Neal

My whole first season was surreal. My first game was against Detlef Schrempf. There was German media everywhere. It was probably my worst NBA game. It was all a blur.

Dirk Nowitzki

I think with my generation, your first game of senior football was often a Sunday League game of football. Sometimes you're playing on pitches that aren't great, you've no referee, you've no goal nets.

Jamie Carragher

Yeah, I was ready for the NBA. Because I went through a lot of things back overseas. And you know, playing professionally from a young age and then playing against the older guys - guys over 30; older, talented guys - was really tough, but it also helped my game grow and just get me ready for the NBA.

Cedi Osman

The first game I played against the University of Miami, I was very nervous - eyes wide open.

Myron Rolle

The last game I played in college was in the NIT against St. Mary's. That was the first time I had come to the Oakland area. So, the last game I played in college and the first game of my NBA career were out here in the Bay Area. It's pretty cool.

Stephen Curry

The United States is where I want to finish. I love the States. I want to have a subscription to NBA and go with my children to every game. I can already see myself there. I do not yet know the city, but why not play for Beckham's franchise in Miami? Playing under Beckham would be the best.

Antoine Griezmann

It was a lot of fun playing against one of the best players to ever play this game in Michael Jordan. For me it was a dream to play against him night in and night out in the NBA with the New York Knicks.

John Starks

As NBA players, so much of the game is mental, as far as confidence and playing against the best players in the world.

Pat Connaughton

I remember when I came into the NBA, eighteen years ago, there were maybe nine to twelve international players playing in the NBA. Today we've got more than 85, so that tells you how our game has grown at that level.

Dikembe Mutombo

My good friend Yao Ming was the first big player in the NBA to come from China. He gave himself to the game and was successful. That inspired the NBA to invest more and do more for the game of basketball. We're building academies not just in China, but in India, Africa, Europe and South America as well.

Dikembe Mutombo

I grew up playing against Michael Carter-Williams.

Austin Rivers

This is a game, first and foremost. There was only one Vince Lombardi, and he died.

Joe Theismann

When I was 16 I played at the Orange Bowl. I was one of the favourites to win and Boca were playing in the Intercontinental Cup against Milan. It was four in the morning in Miami and they wouldn't let me get up to watch it. I put the TV on ever so quietly, though, and watched the whole game, which went to penalties and lasted forever.

Juan Martin del Potro
