Anthony thanks for talking to Germanhoops.com. Where are you at the moment and how is your summer going?
Hello I’m doing great. I’m currently at home in Aberdeen Mississippi.
Congrats on signing with German Pro B team Itzehoe Eagles. Your only 26 years old, but seen more of the world than probably most of your friends as you have already professionally played in Spain, Asia, Africa and the Dominican Republic. Do you already feel like a basketball globetrotter?
Lol yes I do a little. I enjoy it though. Getting to travel the world and play the game I love.
What were the main reasons for having signed with the Itzehoe Eagles. How vital was the trust from head coach Pat Elzie? He has a lot of confidence in your abilities.
I feel like it’s a great opportunity for me, coming to a team that was already a playoff team, I feel like I can help them get to ProA. I trust coach a lot he has a lot of faith in my abilities and I think he can take my game to the next level.
