Acquired an Olympic Gold Medal before he took his steps into the NBA
He was a member of the US squad that became the gold medalists of 2012 London Olympics and he was the first American basketball player to compete in the World Olympics prior to becoming professional, since Emeka Okafor (he achieved the same in 2004 Olympics, but couldn’t manage to earn a medal).
His hobbies
Painting; he especially likes to paint cardboards.
How is he doing with the video games?
He likes to play many of them in his spare times. He is mad about Call of Duty.
Why does he wear #23 in his jersey?
As a native of Chicago, he copied the jersey number of his idol Michael Jordan and wore it in his all high school and college years. He still maintains that run in the NBA..
