Otis George (206-C-82, college: Louisville) former player of Macae Basquete (Brazil-NBB) gave an interview:
Why you decided to be a pro player?
I love basketball, I saw it as a way to help my family and build a great life for myself.
There are many players without a job fighting for the same spots, how hard is to wait for your ideal offer and not take the first that comes up considering that the next one may not come soon.
It is very difficult waiting, especially when you have a family to take care of. just gotta have faith that something better will come along.
Which was the best game you had in your career so far?
There have been so many games and it's been awhile lol, I can't remember a game I can say was my best. I consider every game that I was blessed to step foot on the court and play was my best game.
Tell us your strong point and your weakness in your game.
My strongest point is my defense and my energy. My weak point i would say is handling the ball.
Which player was the hardest opponent to play against?
