Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Derrick Rose, Chicago Bulls Point Guard (On lessons he has learned after injury)
"(I learned to) Take care of my body. I think last time I wasn't lifting weights, I wasn't stretching the way I'm stretching now, so just trying to prevent the nagging injuries that really catch up and make it a big injury my ACL (Anterior cruciate ligament)"

SOUNDBITE: (English) Derrick Rose, Chicago Bulls Point Guard (On Miami Heat)
"I think that we could contend against them. They are a good team and we're not backing down from anyone in the league, no matter who they are. Of course, they are the defending champions, but we still have to play them."

SOUNDBITE: (Portuguese) Nene, Washington Wizards Forward-Centre (On the first ever NBA Game in Brazil)
"A better gift than this one is impossible. Having a dream that it could be seen as impossible some time ago, now it will happen in front of our eyes! The true fans of Brazilian basketball will enjoy having NBA in our land. I know that Brazil will host a great show and fans will pack the arena on Saturday (October 12th)"

SOUNDBITE: (Portuguese) Nene, Washington Wizards Forward-Centre (On possible jeering by Brazilian fans)
"You won't please everybody. But I know that everything I do here I will have people that will be supporting me. I will always give my best. Today, I will be representing Brazil with my team, Washington Wizards. If there's someone who will show up to not support me, I leave in the hand of God. We will do our best to do this extraordinary show so people can't forget this historic moment."
