How do you motivate yourself before the games?

Winning is the best motivation, that's why you play, to win and be the best player you can be. And also people at the game motivates me, you always want them to enjoy the game.

What kind of rituals you have before the games?

I usually try eat pasta and chicken on game day, I listen to music and before team warm up I have certain exercises I do

Do you have anything you dislike about basketball?

I don't like injury part of the basketball because that can keep you away from playing and doing your best on court.

In your eyes, what's the difference between men's and women's basketball?

Men's basketball is more athletic, more dunks and better show, but women play with more emotions.

Have you done any other sports besides basketball? 

If folk dancing is considered as sports then I have done that, I did it till 5th class parallel with basketball but then I had to choose either folk dance or basketball, and I chose basketball because I liked it better.
