"I'm from Cameroon, Central Africa." — Pascal Siakam

There might be games where I feel like I don't have the energy I'm supposed to have. So for me, I think it's important that every single night I bring the energy.

My dad's always going to be my motivation.

Having more freedom to bring the ball up and have the ball in my hands, just trusting me with the ball, that was one of the big things. My rookie year, I didn't have that. Just having that trust in me, just working and them seeing that I'm getting better at it, that I'm capable, that was kind of like a changing point for me.

I think a lot of kids growing up, we have dreams.

Nobody's going to replace your dad, but I had some support from people who cared for me.

Like I always say, whatever is my weakness, I try to work on it and I try to get better at it.

My passion is basketball and I'm so lucky to be able to use this sport to give back to my community.
