Playing basketball is second nature to me; acting I found far more challenging.
It was a steppingstone. The NBA, for me, was preparation for me to do something someplace else.
You leave America, then you go someplace else, you begin to create something totally different.
I play basketball; I actually like the triangle. It opens things up if you know how to move without the ball and know how to cut. That's the game you learn in high school and younger - pass, cut - basically the fundamentals of basketball, which makes it extremely difficult to guard.
For me, it's vital to continue to share my experiences and allow my experiences to help the younger generation.
