What do you watch on TV? On TV I watch Hannah Montana, which recently went off the air, The Game on BET and The Boondocks.


What do you have in your iPod before a meet? I listen to Jay-Z, Little Wayne and Lauren Hill.


What is your favorite movie? My favorite movie is Love & Basketball. Just a great story, it’s about basketball and it’s just a really good movie. I like the ac- tors in it.


Do you have any superstitions? No superstitions, but I have a routine that I like to stick to and if I don’t do that then I feel kind of weird. I sleep during the day. I have to sleep at least two hours before the game. I get to the gym at five and do my shooting routine. And then just relax before the game.


What is on your bucket list? I want to get an RV and travel across the country.


What is your favorite home-cooked meal? My mom’s famous wings. It’s just fried chicken wings and her special sauce, which I can’t give the recipe for that.


What would your dream job be? I’m going to shoot for something different other than to be an NBA player, that’s my dream job. But I would love to be President of the Unites States of America. I think that’s a lot of responsibil- ity though. I’d also want to be the head coach of a top school like this.


Who has had the most impact on your life and why? My mom is the biggest impact in my life just because she’s been my mother and father for quite some time and she’s always been my biggest fan.


Who would you trade places for a day with? Jay-Z.


What was the best concert you have attended? I attended a concert last spring out in Raleigh, a Little Wayne concert with all of Young Money there.


What is your favorite sport to play other than your own? Golf and table tennis.
