I'm just growing. Growing in faith and trying to better myself as a Christian and as a man.

I experienced different things growing up as a child that helped me. That helped mold me into the man that I am now, to the athlete that I am now.

I always was a guy that wanted to be liked. That wanted to be like everyone else, not really understanding that the platform that I had was different than others. Not really understanding that God expects more from his leaders that he does from people who are not really committed to Him.

Sometimes, you get kind of redundant by learning the same offense over and over again.

And I've never taken up a sport just because it was a social fad.

I think the American sports culture has the idea that professional athletes need so much, like flying private planes, which obviously we don't, but that's the American sports culture when they think of the NFL and the NBA.

I was asked to do something and represent my country. That's a great honor. This isn't about what it could do for me but what I could do for U.S.A. Basketball.

After every game I analyse my performance with the goalkeeping coach in a very critical manner. There is certain criticism you will take on board and other things that do not affect you. You cannot look too far into that because it can destruct you in a certain way.
