Atascocita hoopster looks up to NBA star

Joe Burton

Q: Who is your favorite athlete?
A: Carmelo Anthony. I usually say myself, but if it has to be an NBA player, it would be Carmelo Anthony.
Q: Who inspires and motivates you the most?
A: My grandmother or my father. My grandmother has had my back since I was born. My parents were working a lot, so I'd go to my grandma's a lot. My dad put me in the right place, you know, taking me to practices when he didn't want to and things like that.
Q: How have your coaches made you a better player?
A: My current coach is pushing me to my limit. I've never really had a high school that pushed me like that.
Q: What is your pre-game routine?
A: Stretch, listen to music, and go out there and play my game.
