I've always been a big-time Scottie Pippen fan. That was my guy growing up!

I grew up in one of those households where, growing up in Detroit, you gravitate towards music and cars because we were the capital for a long time. Especially during my childhood. We were the Motown sound. We were the Motor City.

Maya Moore is one of the greatest champions in basketball, male or female.

People don't realize this, but throughout my career, I grew up patterning my game after Scottie Pippen's. I admire him for his versatility.

My job is to pay attention to the feel of the game and always add a positive energy to it on my team through the ups and downs of the game.

So nonetheless given the importance that was placed on sport in Australia, I wanted to be part of that scene, particularly since I had felt very strongly in my early schooling being marginalised even in the Catholic school.

There are challenges in front of you that you face all the time in football. You ride through and come out the other end.

Spend time with your family and try to spend time doing things that you enjoy doing other than basketball.
