America is a nation that conceives many odd inventions for getting somewhere but it can think of nothing to do once it gets there.

I would love a family. I’m at the age where the wish for a child gets stronger. But who knows.

I’m blessed to come from a family with five brothers. We’re all physical and athletic and like to work out, like to be outside, like to throw the ball around.

There’s a lot of chatter in basketball and, rightfully, you want players to be talking to each other… But sometimes in practice, it gets too verbose… so I tried to take things out of the ordinary and make them special so they’d understand the difference.
