Eurohoops met with him at “Abdi Ipekci” Arena during the game of Anadolu Efes and Galatasaray and the Portland guard had only good things to say about European hoops: “I enjoy watching European basketball. It’s a brand of efficiency. A lot of skilled players… They play it the right way. That’s why I enjoy watching it.”

Of course his motivation for traveling to Turkey is obvious: “”I love to come out and support my brother. Whenever I have the chance to make it out here, I enjoy visiting him and watching him play. I will see a few games and then head back to the States.”

And there’s a special bond between him and Errick: “That’s my big brother. He is taking care of me, has driven me to maturity in my life, has put me in a position to succeed and helped me mold into what I have become today. I always support him. We have a lot of similarities in our games. We played the same type of game; a lot of jumpshots, midrange game, a lot of steps off the dribble… I enjoy it. I enjoy working out with him and enjoy spending time with him and I still have a lot of moves of him in my game.”
