Neo Mothiba

This week we have not just a national team player but the captain of the South African Mens National Basketball Team Neo Mothiba. Neo is without a doubt a national icon and being arguably the best player in the country his game is most definitely one to admire. Standing at 6 foot 7 he can do it all on the court. I managed to get in contact with him to get some information about his experience at national level.

Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.
