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

Basketball is more than just a sport to me; it’s a way of life. It keeps me in shape and it keeps me calm, allowing me to focus on the present moment. I love the adrenaline rush and the satisfaction of executing a perfect play, whether it’s getting a good block or hitting a tough shot.


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

When I think of players who inspire me, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett come to mind. Their passion and dedication to the game were unparalleled. They always gave the sport their all, and that level of commitment is something I strive to emulate every time I step on the court.


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

One of my most unforgettable experiences was seeing him hitting 2 back-to-back clutch shots at the end of his first-ever playoff game. The pressure was immense, but the thrill of seeing the ball swish through the net made every moment worth it.
