Abdi: Your brother Antonio has been playing with you your entire life and now things are about to change, what's your input on that?

Will: It's unexplainable. I can't describe how much my brother means to me on and off the court. We've played together in huge matches in front of thousands of people, and it's been wonderful. Playing with him was the best time of my life.

Abdi: Do you have any rituals you do before the game?

Will: I pray to God, listen to music, watch basketball tapes, and do my pre game shooting.
