LeBron James is the athlete that influenced me to take up basketball. I admire and try to follow his incredible performance, versatility, and dedication.

His story says it all from a very humble beginning to an NBA superstar, which speaks about the values of hard work and perseverance.

He promotes social justice and support his community through his influence beyond the court. For me, his legacies inspire young athletes worldwide.

For me, it has got to be Michael Jordan. His determination, skill, and unyielding competitive drive encourages me. But what inspires me more is how he overcomes great challenges, all the way to his becoming great.

I also love to see Serena Williams play. She inspired me with her dominance on the court and her perseverance off the court as well. She's a great person and a wonderful athlete.

Mario Lemieux was my favorite player growing up until it became Darcy Tucker because I'm a Leafs fan, and Tucker was awesome. That's how I got into hockey, and I grew up in a family that loves hockey.

I think Mario Lemieux is greater than Wayne Gretzky.

Ronaldo is my spec. He is extra fit, skillful, have speed and can take five teams alone. Another is Messi. Leo Messi is a genius from another planet. He still remain the most decorated footballer in history of football.

As a young boy that started playing football from grade school, it was Kanu Nwankwo that I watched in Arsenal that made me to want to play football. I played like him and I was dubbed "Kanu" by my local peers that I played with.

Many cricketers inspired me a lot. Cricketers like Javed Miandad and Muhammad Yousuf were really great batsmen. In the world of boxing, Muhammad Ali inspired me a lot.
