LG: You have had two amazing games recently with an amazing number of rebounds. Do you think rebounding is your greatest strength as a player?

EB: I think it’s one of the best strengths [to have] because it shows that you’re able to get the ball after a shot in any circumstance. I feel like rebounding is definitely needed, because it gives a lot of chances for second chance points and to also get the ball from the other team.

LG: What is your favorite part of playing for COD?
