SWISH Mag: How long have
you been playing basketball?
THE
lEGENDARY
Michael Jordan
Jenghis: I’ve been playing
basketball since I was 7. So this
is my 8th year playing basketball.
SWISH Mag: What inspired
you or made you love
playing basketball?
Jenghis: I think the speed of
the game and the intensity
made me love the sport.
Basketball is very
entertaining because of the
creativity, and skillful moves
that players perform on the court. I
also think that the sport helps bring
people together, to socialize and to
create new friendships.
SWISH Mag: Are you a person
who play’s basketball daily?
Jenghis: Uhh.. Yeah. Since its
summer at the moment, I have been
playing all day every day, training my
game so that i gradually get better.
Asking other people to play against
or with me also helps me improve
my game.
SWISH Mag: What time do you
usually play?
Jenghis: I usually start playing
basketball at around 5, because
this is the time when most of the
local players get out of school and
work to play.
SWISH Mag: How do
you train?, do you have
a personal trainer or do
you self train?
SWISH Mag: Have you ever
competed in any Hong
Kong
leagues or competition?
If not Why?
Jenghis: I usually self train,
Jenghis: I haven’t competed in
because I already know what skills
that I need to work on, for example
my left hand dribbling, combo moves
and etc. During this summer I've
been going to my local basketball
court in the morning’s just to get
some blood flowing, then after going
back home I head back to the court
at around 5 to self train some more. I
prefer self training or hiring a
personal trainer because if you train
within a team, there isn’t a coach
who would only focus on you, the
coach will have to train other players.
any Hong Kong leagues yet, but
i’m trying to get myself into one
very soon. The reason why i’m not
in any leagues is because i’m not
old enough and i think that I still
need to work on my game. I have
competed in some school & club
competitions, and I really enjoy it
not only because it’s fun but I learn
how to play within a team making
me a better player. I definitely want
to play for Hong Kong, but I think I
also got bigger dreams in mind like
maybe even getting into the pro
leagues (NBA).
