Fab Melo turned to basketball because he was awful at soccer

Fab Melo

CSNNE’s Jess Camerato just published her Beyond the Arc interview with Fab Melo:

JC: Who encouraged you to play basketball?

FM: I was playing pick-ups and I was the last one picked, so I decided it wasn’t fun anymore and I started playing basketball.

I know what it’s like to be the last one picked in a pick-up game.  I was awful at bocce.

Fab talks about everything and anything in this interview: moving to the US from Brazil, playing defense in the NBA, getting to know KG, his favorite food, nicknames and more.

He seems like a sincere kid.
