I don't like one-foot jumpers like LeBron James. It looks better jumping off two feet. Every time Michael Jordan jumped off two feet, it looked so much better.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Once I start shooting that jumper, I feel like I will be one of those guys that is hard to stop.
Usually, when I liked athletes growing up, it was because they could hit a ball very far or they can throw a ball very fast. They can shoot a jumper, or they can dunk the ball.
Growing up as a high jumper, I said if I could ever jump 2.40, I'd be pretty satisfied with my career. It's definitely a barrier for high jumpers.
I'm not a big sports fan, but I love it when they 'slam dunk.' That's sexy.
Hopefully, I can get multiple distances out there and re-establish myself as one of the best jumpers in the world.
I love basketball players for what they do for their size - so graceful.
My mother was a champion high-jumper. My three brothers are basketball players. We've all been very athletic.
Growing up, you'd see Michael Jordan on everything from Gatorade to shoes - everything. Obviously, that's something pretty cool for an athlete to aspire to.
I think I always prefer the long jump, high jump, and javelin. I don't like the 400 metres and the pole vault except when I'm really in shape.
You see what happens in college and high school games today - a three-point shot or a dunk. I think that's the reason that you see a lot of that in the pros today.
