Playing on the big stage, wearing an NBA uniform and getting paid to do the one thing you love, basketball, is the ultimate dream and involves many responsibilities. One of those would be the interaction with the media before a game, during a game, after a game and of course taking part in the annual preseason NBA Media Day.

Some of the questions players are asked include thoughts about teammates, coaches, role on the team and anything related to the city the athlete plays in. NBA Media Day also brings the unexpected, whether it may be something random on the player’s mind such as a joke, displaying a new look or even share something fans may not know about themselves.

Here’s how it all when down in alphabetical order, starting with Kadeem Allen.
