Discipline and consistency is what's expected out of a player.

I wish to become the greatest player in the world. I want to uphold the honor of India, the USA and of my coach and make basketball a prominent sport in India.

Discipline and consistency is what's expected out of a player.

The only piece of advice I would give to the aspiring players is that no amount of practice is enough. You need to keep at it, no matter how successful you are.

I am a huge fan of Bollywood movies. Whenever I get time, I enjoy watching Hindi movies. Cooking really interests me, so I also experiment with food in my free time.

Sometimes my success is attributed to my height (which is 7'2"), which I won't deny does help to an extent. But honestly, the rest comes from a healthy mix of workout and practice everyday.

I believe both the mind and the body need to be strong. We practise so hard that even if we hit a saturation point, we can't stop because that is the kind of dedication the sport requires.
