Career Highlight
Scoring my first basket, both as an 8 year old in my first game and as a rookie in the VBL with Blackburn as that took me a while!
Childhood Sporting Hero
Michael Jordan
Major Career Influence
Parents, Mum played at Dandenong Rangers and Dad ran marathons so I'm a bit of both
Favourite Teammate
I've had many teammates over the years and just like a parent you can't have a favourite child. Instead I'll say that I admire anyone who works hard on their game and is vocal and supportive of their teammates whether we are up or down. I think the Magic has a great culture in this area hence their success in recent years.
Most Annoying Teammate
Patty, because it isn't fair how easily he can do a back flip
Dream Celebrity Date
Angelina Jolie, see my nickname answer
Hottest player on Magic Womens team
It's a bit hard for the new guy to answer this one. I keep getting older.
Motto
"If You Believe You Can Achieve"
Describe Yourself in a few words (On The Court)
I'm the guy that is going to run all day do the 1%s
Describe Yourself in a few words (Off The Court)
I'm the guy who will probably still keep running....
Animal you liken yourself to
Lion, because I barrack for the Lions in the AFL and it was the toy I was given the day I was born, Yep Dad gave me no choice in becoming a Fitzroy fan from day 1!
What superhero power would you like added to your repetoire
Added to my repetoire? Which ones do I get to start with!
Reveal a Secret about yourself
As a rookie at Blackburn I did my Rookie Run in the streets of Ballarat which included being dropped off at a well lit petrol station in my birthday suit with 2 teammates and then running home to the hotel via McDonalds to order a cheeseburger
What's in a good night out
Playing a Saturday night game and having a good win, then heading out with the boys for a laugh
