“She understands with me off the court. She understands me on the court. She believes in me. Shots that I take that she wants me to take, she believes in me that, I mean I believe in myself. So being able to come to the league and feel at home, feeling being able to be here.”
“I remember sitting on the computer talking to her when I was going to the process or the draft process and I was like, ‘please God let me go to Chicago.’ Like, ‘please, please I don’t care where I drop to.”
“Let me go to Chicago.’ Because when you know that feeling, when you know somebody loves you and believes in you, not just as a basketball player but as a human being, it’s special. And just coming from her, like I’m away from home, my mom believes that I’m okay away from home. So it’s family here and I just feel I’m blessed to have coach.”
