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.

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.

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.

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.
