WECOME TO THE FAM JELANI GARDNER!

j: I totally agree, cause in basketball, it’s always a point were you’re heart will be tested. Only the real or the strong want that ball when it’s time to succeed or fail. That’s what I play for, to always test my own heart, to see if I show up in the 4th qtr when the game is on the line. That’s when you show your heart to everybody in the arena, it’s a great feeling!

q: What music do you prefer?

j: I love hip-hop, my wife provides the R&B. Alot of it nonsense, but the good music is a soundtrack of my life. I really like to workout with my music, it gives me that extra push.

q: What is most important for you in any given game- to score, to pass, just to be a leader or to be a very good team player?

J: The most important is to win! Then I want to play a complete game, but one of my best talent is to open shots for my teammates. Then to perform when the pressure is on is what I judge myself on, did I show my heart when things look tough? My teamates feed off the energy and when we win the bond is never forgotten.

q: How do you spend you free time in Surgut?

j: Internet is vital here, I might play a little nba live to try and beat the computer. Watch a game DVD to study the opponent. But they keep you pretty busy, with 2 practices per day. So when you get home, you find you don’t have enough free time. Time to go to work now…
