I'm a playmaker. I'm always attacking the rim and have somewhat of a reckless style. I try to be everywhere at once.

In many ways, the longer I live, I understand that there are so many things outside my control. That’s why I believe faith is such a big part of the story. There are so many things that were orchestrated by God, that were put into place to make this perfect storm, that created Linsanity.
