From Chicago to Oklahoma

Hello everybody!

What a crazy week! As you noticed, I was transferred last week from the Chicago Bulls to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference. The transfer is coming at the right time for many reasons. I will, first of all, play more with the Thunder and I will improve in all the different aspect of my game. Our head-coach, Scott Brooks, likes what I'm going to bring defensively but I also hope to improve my offensive skills quickly. Even if the Play-Off cannot be reached this season, we will play each game at 100%.

Everything went so fast about my transfer to Oklahoma City. On February 19th, my bro' Kgomotso called me in the afternoon to announce me that I was transferred to the Thunder. The same morning, I was having my daily training session with the Bulls ! I boared it the next day to Oklahoma where I had to do a check-up (a formality for the team to be sure you're not injured). Then, I boared it again to San Francisco to join the team and play my first game with the Thunder against the Warriors (18 minutes). As you can see, everything went so fast that I didn't have time to move in. I'm going to stay at the hotel until the end of the season. My girlfriend and my daughter just joined me. My bro' Kgom is taking care of the house in Chicago.

My first games with Oklahoma are going well and I'm excited about the future. I just scored 15pts three times in a row and realized my first double-double of the season against Memphis. We have a bright future with some players as Kevin Durant, Jeff Green or Russell Westbrook.

Last but not least, I read all your messages on my website and Facebook. Thank you so much for the support. It's always a pleasure to read you and I'm sorry if I can't reply to you as often as I want.

Stay tuned!
