Τhe person still in my life from that time... «my mom».

People used to call me... «Ty. It's cool and it's how they still call me today».

Regarding sports... «I used to play basketball, but I was mainly an American Football player. I used to play defensive end and wide receiver. Basketball became a staple in my life at senior high».

My favorite player was... «Lebron James».

My favorite TV show... «Sweet Life of Zack and Cody».

I would eat for breakfast... «normal stall. Eggs, bacon, pancakes».

I would vacation at... «The vacations I remember the most were in Jamaica and Disney World, where I would go with my mom».

I would go to bed... «I was going to bed at around 10, but I wouldn't fall easily asleep when I was a kid».

What I loved doing when I was 10... «playing basketball and football with my friends on the street and videogames when I got home».

Things I did that would drive my mom crazy... «Everything would drive her crazy (laughing)».

The person I was copying... «Noone, I would always try to be myself».

My favorite place on earth was... «My room. I could play my videogames there».
 
My worst habit... «staying up all night playing».

My favorite dinner... «Jamaican stew peas. It's a traditional Jamaican dish».

My favorite videogame... «anything would come out about American Football».

If I had 100 euros, I would spend them on... «Either for haircuts, or Jamaican Beef Patties, or sneakers. Depending when I had them».

Apart from sports, I loved... «cooking. Later on, I started cooking my favorite dishes, which were traditional Jamaican cousine».

Instead of an epilogue, when did you first hear the word Olympiacos and how would you describe the team in one word?

«My first year as a pro was the one I also heard about Olympiacos. One word? It's family here».
