When asked about  his Childhood sports Stories 

“One memorable experience was playing in a championship game. I had a tough performance, missing layups, fouling, and missing free throws. Determined to improve, I worked hard every morning leading up to the next game. When it came time to face the same team again, I played with more intensity, communicating better on the court, scoring points, and contributing to a 30-point win.”

One of the things that has really helped me grow as a basketball player is going up against elite competition. When a reporter recently asked me about some of my biggest challenges on the court, I had to say it's been playing against those highly skilled opponents who really test my abilities. Every time I match up against a top-notch player, it pushes me to elevate my own game to the next level. I've had to focus on sharpening all aspects of my skills - from ball handling and shooting to defense and court vision."

He also stated: "Battling talented players forces me to be creative, decisive, and to execute at my absolute best. Even though it's a huge challenge, I love it because it's the ultimate measuring stick. When I can hold my own and succeed against the best, it gives me a ton of confidence and shows me how far I've come with my game. At the same time, it also highlights areas where I still need to improve. So while it's never easy going toe-to-toe with phenomenal players, I embrace it as an opportunity to keep developing and refining my skills. That high level of competition is what drives me to keep working hard every day to become the best player I can be."
