My friends are my family », say so inside the Bucks. ” All the people around me want my best, they don’t distract me, and allow me to keep a cool head. »

I never imagined experiencing such things, like seeing the Strait of Gibraltar and all that part of the world “, appreciates the 51-year-old adoptive father of the Bucks player, his real brother in arms, in a way, for years. ” Did we imagine we’d come all this way? If so, we did not visualize it like that. We simply knew that we were going to give everything, to try to reach the heights. »
Then Bobby Portis insists particularly on the pleasure of seeing his mother, building all his memories by his side.
” We lived in 16 or 17 houses, I never had my own room.
