I thought basketball was a game for women. My mother played basketball, and so did my sister.
I came up with my own 'Dream Shake' I guess - the white version.
I played all kinds of sports when I was young: tennis, handball, basketball, some soccer. I focused on basketball when I was 16 or 17 and then came to the U.S. when I was 20.
I always wanted to be a basketball player. Nothing more, nothing less.
This feeling to be on the best team of the world is just indescribable.
Of course parents want their children to confide in them.
