I was that child who started playing at San Viator School, with no other aspirations than to have fun and have a good time with friends; who later looked at basketball as the means to get to play in his team city, Baskonia. And that little by little he was achieving small goals until, probably, he was able to be in competitions and games that he imaginary played in his bedroom as a child”.
