“When I was a kid, not only was the inspiration coming from my sports figures, it was also coming from TV shows that I was watching. I always felt like, I wish I was the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air like I wish I was the Fresh Prince of Akron Ohio… I wish at times just being in certain movies, like action movies … The passion of watching that and seeing that,” the 2020 champion further added. “Being a kid, just trying to find any inspiration.
