Why basketball: I started playing basketball in middle school at the age of 12. I fell in love with the game from there, and more so while growing up. As a kid, you dream of becoming an NBA player. Later on in my life, I realised that it was actually possible. So, I took it up.

On being the tallest active player: Being tall is an advantage... just being able to score on the basket, it's pretty easy to do that. The disadvantage is that other guys are faster than you. They are quicker, but for you, it's a lot harder to move around in the court. But you can overcome speed with your height. So, it goes both ways. But right now, I am working on my speed. And I'm getting better everyday.
