Which age range do you think is the toughest to parent?

Right now, I'm a teenager.

What makes teenagers so difficult?

They just talk back.

They think they know everything.

You can't really tell them anything, but they'll come back eventually, hopefully.

uh that's a good question yeah yeah i just even myself i just started talking back a lot to my mother at that age yeah i mean i think as a teenager you're trying to get independency so you think you're you know you know everything and just trying to go into it and yeah i think you know everything about the world which you don't so it's a lot to learn was basketball your main focus at the teenage years that's why yeah for sure yeah yeah basketball and just yeah just having fun with my friends so you knew very early you wanted a hoop

I knew I wanted to go to college.

I knew I wanted to help my parents on the financial side for not having to pay for college.

So that was my whole focus of getting into basketball and just getting good grades and stuff like that.

Okay, so college was your ceiling?

Yeah, for sure.

So you didn't even think NBA?

All my dad's friends, when I see them now, they said I did, but I don't remember it.

I just remember just having fun, playing basketball, and then wanting to go to college.

But I think once I got to college, I figured out that NBA was close.

So I was like, hey, I'm going to take it serious.

Was that transition from high school to college pretty tough?

No, not really.

I think it was just more so just learning the game, learning the speed of the game, and then learning the ways I can score, you know, ways I can, you know, get to my spots on the court and also help my teammates out.
