India I’m thinking I’m going to be around palaces and royalty and gold- basically thought I was going to Dubai. Then I landed there I saw the culture and how they live and it was rough. It’s a country that’s 20 years behind inters of knowledge and experience. You see cows in the street monkey running around everywhere hundreds of people on people on side of the road a million cars and no traffic violations. Just a bunch of underprivileged people there and they want to learn how to play basketball that s- was really dope to me”.
