Which muscle groups are most involved in this sport? Which parts of your body ache the most after a basketball match or training and why? However, after players retire, they can either take up coaching or sports-related work as their portfolio would be strong.The most memorable moment I had throughout my playing career would be winning the MVP for the 2015 National Basketball League final. I was the youngest player to win the MVP.The most heartbreaking experience that I had throughout my basketball experience would be the back-to-back left meniscus tear that resulted in me missing the 2017 SEA Games in Kuala Lumpur.
Story continuesI just rushed back even though I knew that I wasn’t 100 per cent ready. I just continued training even when I was limping. So during a scrimmage, when I was doing a spin move, my knee gave way again.I had never thought of stopping until the second time I teared my meniscus. What motivated me to continue were the people around me, especially Slingers coach Neo Beng Siang and general manager Michael Johnson. They told me to focus on my rehabilitation and that they would be waiting for my return, and that really motivated me to make my comeback.The most difficult aspect of being a professional basketball player is to maintain the image of myself, especially when I am at basketball-related events.
