Who influenced your recreation rising up? Any favourite gamers or position fashions? I do know your father and uncle each performed professionally SA: Having family members that played, I got a lot of insight, which was good. But I didn’t really need to play. I never got to see them play. So players I actually got to see play—I would say Kobe [Bryant] and Pau [Gasol] were, you know, the first big duo I watched. Pau being Spanish and Kobe being one of the best ever. But then also Marc [Gasol]. A lot of national team basketball players and funny enough, Grizzlies players, too. And then Dirk Nowitzki. He’s simply, I don’t know, a man I’ve all the time preferred—how he performed, what he was about. So I believe these three, 4 guys are most likely my major references in basketball. Like I stated, I don’t know, the sport has all the time been a part of my household and pure for me. So simply something—I believe the best recreation of basketball is one thing I take pleasure in. -via HoopsHype / April 4, 2025
