Everyting negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise. What I'm doing right now, I'm chasing perfection. As far as carrying the torch for the years to come, I don't know. I just want to be the best basketball player I can be. My parents are my backbone. Still are. They're the only group that will support you if you score zero or you score 40. 。
