FAVOURITE PLAYER & TEAM

Kyrie has to be my favourite player. I like the way he plays his game. He is very creative on the court and plays a complete offensive game that I admire. My favourite team however has to be the Raptors. This is the case because I got to support the Canadian team!

I aspire to play professionally but I am not just limited to that. I plan to coach, be a trainer, etc and continue to keep basketball in my life. 

FONDEST MEMORY IN BASKETBALL

BIGGEST BASKETBALL INFLUENCE

My biggest influence in basketball has to come from Kobe. I have looked up to the way he played his game. He proved that hard work really pays off.

I would like to play in university/college. I would like to keep playing basketball for as long as possible and do not plan on ending after high school. 

WHEN BASKETBALL CAREER IS OVER

When my basketball career is over, I am not completely sure of what I want to pursue. I think I will go into a field that involves sports since that is where my interests lie.
