DJ loves the feeling of being on the court—the pace, the challenge, and the chance to grow every time he plays. He thrives under pressure, and basketball gives him purpose, focus, and joy.
DJ is inspired by his dad, a pro who played for the Lakers and Rockets. Watching him persevere through injury and stay humble through success taught DJ that greatness comes from consistency, not just talent.
Watching DJ hold his own—and lead—on a pro junior team in Greece at just 11 years old made me so proud. Averaging 20 points and 8 assists, he plays with a poise and heart that’s years beyond his age.
