Transcript

00:00I'm grateful and blessed and I don't take this game for granted.

00:04Anytime I step on a basketball floor, I play as hard as I can.

00:09Two, I've learned a long time ago when I was younger.

00:14My dad used to tell me, like, you never know who's watching.

00:18And this is an international game.

00:21There are maybe kids or people that have flown here, that drove here to come see guys like myself and the guys on both teams to play.

00:28That opportunity can inspire somebody.

00:31Globally it can inspire somebody coming out and watching the game just for the 18 minutes or so I played.

00:37So me playing hard is a part of who I am, a part of my identity, but also it's to inspire other people as well.
