What do you love about basketball: I love the thrill of the game. That’s pretty much it.

Three people you can have dinner with, dead or alive: ASAP Rocky, he’s one of my favorite rappers; XXX Tentacion, he’s another rapper and I like him a lot; Tyler, the Creator, he’s a rapper but he has multiple genres. I listen to a lot of rap music.

If you could use a time machine, where/when would you go: I’d go to the future like 15 years from now just to see how life played out, what job I’m doing or whether I’m rich or not.

If you could go on a trip anywhere in the world, where would you go: California, any of the beaches in California. Probably L.A., just because I’ve never been to that side of the country and it looks neat.
