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

I love most that Kingsley believes in himself and is dedicated. He truly studies the game of basketball. From the greats of the game to the current players in the NBA he looks at what they do wholeheartedly and holistically and how he can do the same. He knows their stats, their college careers, and how they played or play in their prime.

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

Kingsley is inspired by Stephen Curry and mainly because of how he played in college and his early career in the NBA. He rose to fame over time and through his work ethic and skills and Kingsley has that same drive and determination and that through playing and practicing with those better than him and consistently working at his craft he too can do the same.

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

A moment that sticks out to me is his final game played on his birthday with the second team he’s ever played on. Kingsley played pretty well all season but overall the team didn’t do too well, but did have a great game against a specific team and they were facing them again. He played his heart out but his team was still defeated, instead of beating himself up, he saw it as an opportunity to improve and understood that even the greats take some losses but it’s about how he gets back up again.
