"I played soccer most of my life to be honest. When I started to play basketball, I was playing just because. Then at the end of my eighth-grade year, I was about to become a freshman, that was when I actually fell in love with basketball. The multiple hours it took being better at basketball because I really liked playing the game. Then I really felt like I could become something special." (nbadraft.net, 12 Apr 2019)

MOVING TO THE USA
Born in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, he moved to the United States of America at about age 13. "When I first came to New York I was walking on the street and people got so mean. I asked somebody a question and he just gave me a dirty look and kept walking. It was a cultural change altogether but through time I was able to get used to it and adapt."
