Thanks Jeremy for talking to germanhoops.com. You scored 100 points in a pro game in El Salvador. How crazy is that. How did you experience the first hours after that mentally? What goes through your head?

It was crazy. I was just so happy and grateful, and the adrenaline was from another world.

Was your cell phone flooded with messages. About how many messages did you get? My cellphone was so flooded with messages.

I didn’t expect it. I got like more than 400 messages just to give an estimate.

Who were some of the most well known players that congratulated you?

Walter Hodge, Javier Mojica, Xavier Zambrana and more from PR.

Scoring 100 points is difficult. Last year an American did it in Germany but under easier conditions as he played at times against 3 players as many had fouled out. What does this 100 points game mean to you?

It was difficult because the team was playing hard giving it their all ,but I kept pushing for it and my teammates were helping me.

This must be the best reward for smaller players that anything is possible. Your only 177cm. How tough has your career been for you due to your size? I can imagine you have been doubted your whole life?

It has been very difficult to get opportunities because of my size, they have doubted me but my talent has let them know that I can do it and that I deserve to play, and when I do get the opportunities I always give it my all. My heart for this game is bigger that anything.

You can now tell everyone I scored 100 points and so did NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain. Chamberlain was way before your time, but everyone knows about Chamberlain’s legacy. If he was still alive what would you have liked to have told him?

I would have like to have a cool conversation with him and any tips that he could give and to be able to take a photo with such a big legend as Wilt Chamberlain.

Let’s talk about the 100 point game. Did you go into the game feeling good with your game or did you have a special pre game meal or was it just the same usual feeling going into the game?

I was in the mindset that I was going to have a great game and I was just really pumped to play.

You made 32-37 shots in the game from the two point range. How quickly did you feel like you were in the zone and that it would be a great game for you?

I felt in the zone when we finished that first quarter and had 40 points, I thought to myself I can do something great tonight.

When did you know or keep counting towards 100 points? Were your teammates telling you you were getting close?

All the fans and my teammates were screaming the points all the game, it was a really big celebration and the support was just crazy.

In another game you scored 49 points in 40 minutes and your 100 points in 37 minutes. This is totally insane. To score so much in only 37 minutes is amazing. How much credit does your team get? They dished out 48 assists

It was extremely hard to score 100 points in 37 minutes. My teammates get all the credit they saw that I was in the zone and they played to help me do my thing.

The El Salvador league isn’t a top league, but to score 100 points is an incredible feat. How high do you believe can one rate this accomplishment?

For me personally on a scale from 1 to 10 I would have to say that it is in my top five accomplishments. I’m really just happy and grateful.

One guy who was in your shadow was teammate Nick Moore who hauled down a crazy 30 rebounds. How important was he for your success on this day?

Without him it wouldn’t have been possible, 30 rebounds is really a crazy amount.

Do you feel like a game like this could open the door to Europe? I’m sure teams have you on their radar now?

I would hope so, and if the opportunity was to present itself, I’m ready to give it my all and to just do what I love, that is just to play basketball.

How did you celebrate after the game? Did you take your teammates out to dinner?

We celebrated with a get together and they gave a really nice gift for the accomplishment that we had that night.

Thanks Jeremy for the chat.
