Which veterans gave you the most guidance? VJ Edgecombe: Kyle Lowry, Eric Gordon before he got traded, PG, those three. They were the vets on the team. I ask a ton of questions. I'm the person who asks a ton of questions, 'cause I just wanna get better as a player and as a person. When it comes to financials or off the court or just buying stuff, housing, on the court, how to keep my body right. Like, what do you do? Like, what's your routine? Like, how do you find your routines? Just stuff like that. So I would say those three help me a lot.

And last one—what will be your legacy? Eric Gordon: What’s my legacy? I’ve had a long career—played longer than I ever thought. Just to see how far I could play. I would love to play 20 years in the NBA. So that would be, as of right now, my goal.

Last dream to make: the Olympics and an NBA title? Eric Gordon: I would’ve loved to take the Bahamas to the Olympics. I would’ve loved that. It’s going to be hard, because that’s in 2028, and as I get older it’s going to be tough. But of course, the dream was always to win a gold medal in the Olympics.

Fast-forward to summer 2024, and I’m getting invited to play for Team Bahamas for the Olympic qualifiers. I was like, Why not? It felt like a good opportunity to level up my game by practicing with that caliber of players — NBA players like Deandre Ayton, Buddy Hield, Eric Gordon. Something for the exposure, you know? Basically, I wasn’t expecting to actually play. Haha. I thought I was going to get the young buck treatment. You know, sit on the sidelines, watch the game, practice….. But also, deep down I was like, I can’t let that happen.
