What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

The opportunity to get teammates involved. He loves making the extra pass or encouraging a teammate that’s struggling. He loves the team atmosphere.


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

Stephen Curry inspires Demetrius (DJ) both on and off the court. From the age of 3, he’s been a fan of how he handles the ball, has a crazy shooting range and how he facilitates the offense. As he gets older, he sees Stephen as a role model of being a believer but still playing basketball at a high level.


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

I’m always proud of him, on and off the court. But if had to choose a moment, it would be when he won MVP in the Big Shots tournament in Gatlinburg, TN. He did not want to take the MVP photo alone and asked if his teammates could join him.
