Since when you fell in love with basketball?
I fell in love with basketball at a very early age, maybe 2 or 3. But I started playing basketball when I was 4, and I have been hooked every since. I love playing, dribbling and practicing every day. 
Who introduce you to the game?
My mom and dad are big basketball fans. They were actually watching a Laker game at the hospital the day I was born. I became a huge Clipper fan when they got CP3, and I love watching CP3, Blake, and Crawford. We watch a ton of games on TV and also go to Clipper games.
