In this interview, I’m going to be interviewing my older brother Jayden about his experiences and point of views on basketball. I chose to interview Jayden because he knows a lot about the sport and played for many years. He played for about ten years starting at a young age, so he can provide good advice and possibly teach people who are interested or considering playing basketball.
