Hey Kings fans!

On our last day in Beijing we went to the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. The Great wall was really high and steep – and windy! The breeze sort of reminded me of California though, which I liked.

We spent a few hours there and it was really cool to see all of the sights and sounds of a wonder of the world. Amazing that it was built so long ago and how much history it has.

The Forbidden City was pretty awesome. The architecture was magnificent and it was cool to see how all of the emperors lived back in the day. It’s crazy how well preserved it is – you can smell the vintage when you walk through and it was almost eerie seeing all of the thrones and art work.

I was able to get in a good workout in as well. We got up a lot of shots and I’m just focused on doing right by my body and feeling good about my game.

My goal is to make more jumpers than the day before and I’ve broken my record two days in a row. I’m feeling good about my progress this summer and can’t wait to keep working.

We made it to Shanghai and I got to do a basketball clinic with Visit California. It was super fun I really enjoyed it! Even though there was a language barrier between me and the other guys, it didn’t matter once we started playing.

It’s cool to see how they play a little differently over here but we all still have the same fun being competitive on the court. I learned a lot about the culture of the sport. It was also great to watch them imitate our moves. You really see how the game is so much bigger than 30 teams playing eight months out of the year.

Thanks for following along with my journey!
