"I started painting, drawing, and sketching when I was in grade school. I really loved art even before I started playing basketball.

But in between those years I would always go to museums and, from time to time, sketch and paint," he shared.

"When I hold a basketball or my palette and knives, the joy they give me is almost similar. When I have a good game, it’s a really good feeling especially after all that training. Same thing with painting especially when you finish it. You have to discipline yourself and don’t force yourself," he remarked.
