Aaron thanks for talking to German Hoops. You are playing your first season in Germany and have been here one month now. What have you grown to like most about the country?

I am still getting a feel for things but like where I live in Bad Honnef. It’s a small town but it’s very peaceful and relaxed. The town is also right next to the river which is always a nice place to go chill and hang out at. Bad Honnef is also short distance from Bonn and Cologne which are two great cities.

William thanks for talking to German  Hoops. Welcome back to Germany. How does it feel to be back again.

It feels good to be back In Germany. I am in a totally different position now then 8 years ago when I started my career in Rhondorf. I have become a better player and evolved as a player since then.

Your playing your first season with Proximus Spirou (Belgium-Scooore League) Sometimes as players get older one wants to get settled, but you keep changing teams each season. One could call you basketball Europe trotter. Is there a particular reason why you like to be on the move?
