Age 30 Born Richmond. Virginia. US Lives Shawlands. Glasgow

Most memorable game That's easy. The first year in Edinburgh we lost about 12 games in a row. I made a shot to Win the game at the bu77er and you would have thought
we'd won the championship.
Last CD you bought This underground rapper named Styles. He's from a group called the Lox. I know a couple of UK artists. but I never really got into them fully. even though
I've been over here a long time.
Favourite film Scarface — Al Pacino. I think you'll find the majority of basketball players love that film.
Other sports 1 follow American football. | used to play it when I was yOLinger. but I didn't get (iuite big enough to finish
playing that.
Favourite TV I watch Rikki Lake every day and Maury Povrcli. They come on back-to-back on UK Liv/ing. I love chat
shows. I'm an addict.
Favourite hang outs Probably Bar Kohl on Sunday nights
or the Cube on Wednesdays.
What are you reading? I'm reading a book about this crazy guy called Curtis Warren. He's from Liverpool. 1 think. It's called Cocky. I started reading it about two days ago and it's
pretty good.
Why Scotland? A coach came up here called Jimmy
Brandon and | always wanted to play for IIIII‘. I didn't want to come to Scotland — l was thinking of kilts and hills and sheep. He sold me on Edinburgh. and once I got here and started to
go Out. I loved :1.
Career goal To win the championship. I've been here so IOrig. they've had faith in me and I've had faith in them. so it
WOuId be nice to go 0111 and win the championship for them. I Scottish Rocks take on Newcastle Eagles on Sat 16 Nov and Sheffield Sharks on Sun 24 Nov. at Brae/read Arena.
