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

Learning, growing, and becoming a better person and player every day. Basketball has become his life.


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

Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant have become his biggest inspirations. His mom passed away around 8 years ago. He always promised her he would make it to the NBA.


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

Watching him play his first year in AAU basketball. He played so hard and continued to practice daily so he would become better for himself, and his team. A coach from a team a few hours away watched him play and invited him to join their team. It was a huge accomplishment.
