I’m really proud and excited about this decision. It was not easy. I am
blessed to call Cameroon, France, and the USA home. After talking to my
family, I knew it had to be Team USA. I want to play with my brothers in the
league. I want to play for my fans because they’ve been incredible since
the day I came here. But most of all, I want to honor my son who was born in
the US. I want my boy to know I played my first Olympics for him.
我對這個決定實在感到自豪、興奮。這來的不容易。很榮幸能把喀麥隆、法國和美國都稱
作是自己的家。在和家人交談後，我決定選擇美國隊。我要和在聯盟的兄弟們一起打球，
也要回報打從第一天來聯盟時為我打氣的球迷們。但更重要的是，我要紀念生在美國的兒
子。我想讓我的孩子知道，我為他打了職業生涯的第一場奧運會比賽。
