Empowering the Next Generation: Beyond my own illustrious career, I am deeply committed to giving back to the sport that has given me so much. As a coach and mentor, I have had the privilege of working with aspiring young athletes at various basketball camps, imparting not only essential on-court skills but also invaluable life lessons. Most notably, I had the honor of lending my expertise to the Raptors 905 Camp during the 2024 March Break, where I inspired and empowered the next generation of basketball superstars to chase their dreams with unwavering passion and determination.
