When did you start playing basketball and why did you start playing?
I started playing when I was six years old street-ball and started playing organized ball my freshmen year in high school. I started playing because of my two older brothers who play and I started playing with them and really got into the sport.
Who is your favorite guard in the NBA?
Steve Nash because he is very talented and plays swiftly. He can score and handle the ball well, making everyone else around him better.
Who is your favorite singer to listen to as you warm up for a game?
Jay-Z, because all of his songs get me pumped up, but Mary J. Blige is my favorite singer overall.
What kind of career do you see yourself having?
I want to be a pharmaceutical sales representative because it's a job where I will be home for my family, but in the meantime be able to make enough money and that is what I am looking for. Plus as a representative I will be able to wear nice suits and stuff; and I like to dress up.
