Go to move if you need a basket?
Fake One Direction and use a quick first step going to the other direction for either a blow by layup or pull up jumper
Pregame routine?
Breathing exercises and thinking about what I want to focus on during the game
Why are you part of MBA?
I am a part of NBA to give kids the same opportunities I did growing up. When I was in 8th grade, I was cut from the school team and thought I would never play basketball again. After playing for the Waterboro Knights with Bill Cookson I was able to regain my confidence and love for Basketball. Now I am back with a program to give back to the community and give every kid a chance to learn to play basketball.
Who would you want to play 1v1 against?
Jayson Tatum he is my favorite basketball player at the moment
Who would you beat 1v1 from our staff?
Everyone..... I hate to lose so I wouldn't stop playing until I won
What should players expect from you?
Play should expect me to support them in anyway possible through the MBA program. It may come in the form of encouragement to have fun, get better and learn something new every time they step out onto the court.
Favorite basketball movie?
The original white men can't jump. the remake is a close second only because I thought Jack Harlow was hilarious in it
Coaching philosophy?
