When did you realize basketball was going to be a big part of your life?Basketball became a big part of my life during my freshman year in high school. I took basketball seriously once colleges started to recruit me as a player, and I knew I could get a full scholarship to college, which would make me once step closer to my dream. My dream is to play professional basketball for the Boston Celtics.
What is your proudest moment in your basketball career? My proudest moment in basketball was going undefeated my junior in high school and winning the state championship game.

Have you ever been stopped in a public place and asked for an autograph? There was a time where nearly 40 kids tackled me to make sure I gave them my autograph in the mall, which was honoring because there’s no better feeling than kids looking up to you as a role model.

What is something on your “bucket list”?I know this crazy but I always wanted a pet monkey.
What is your idea of the perfect date? A perfect date is a simple date to me. I need a lady that could make me laugh and eat food and could dance. So I would say going out to eat and then to the club to have fun. And of course she has to look good.
What is your go to pick up line? I got multiple pick up lines for different type of women in different type of scenarios, I’m not going to reveal any of my secrets.
