Um I played soccer but it was mostly basketball , baseball and football up until brown . Um uh high school , uh , time , I'd say probably my biggest mentor in my life for sure is my dad . Um , my dad's been with me every step of the way .
Uh my dad got a job at UC Riverside and that's when I met the greatest coach I've ever played for one of my biggest supporters . Um and someone who's taught me so much about basketball and life in general . Um Him and my dad are incredibly close and the three of us are close and we call ourselves the three man weave .
Um I got to learn from like coach Bill Mellis who's won a million games in high school , coach , foster coach job , you know , coach Brown , coach JB , like all those guys . Um I got to learn so much um from them . And then guys like uh the twins , the mcclanahan twins taught me a lot like them being good players .
And then once I got into high school , um I was around , you know , a lot of great guys , my first year being a freshman at sale . Um I got to learn from like coach Bill Mellis who's won a million games in high school , coach , foster coach job , you know , coach Brown , coach JB , like all those guys . Um I got to learn so much um from them .
And I think that's , that's kind of what separates like the better players , embrace your journey and embrace who you are for one . Those are important , everybody's journey is different . Like I was in a top , you know , 25 top 50 guy .
