How long have you been playing basketball?

I’ve been playing basketball probably since preschool or kindergarten.

 

What would you do in an apocalypse?

Like a zombie apocalypse? Yeah okay, I’d probably take my mom’s car into a really big city and camp in an elevator. My mom’s coming with me.

 

What was your motivation to continue to play basketball throughout high school?

I just like playing, it’s very fun to play so I surround myself with it.

 

What’s it like to have your dad work at your school?

It’s kind of fun, sometimes he tries to make jokes and stuff on campus, but he’s not really funny. It’s nice to have him, though.

 

Do you plan on pursuing a career in basketball and if not, what is your dream job?

I don’t really know where I want to work or what I want to do yet, I’m still thinking about it to be honest. I’ve been putting it off.

 

How has your experience in basketball changed you as a person?

It made me more sympathetic towards others, it helped me understand what other people go through just being in a team.
