His favorite movie is Remember the Titans ... Loves to hear the
music of Drake ... Favorite website is espn.com ... Decided on Cal
State Northridge because of head coach Bobby Braswell ... Enjoys
playing basketball in front of large crowds ... The toughest thing
about being an athlete is all the hard work and preparation ...
Listens to his iPod and prays before a basketball game ... Relaxes
by sleeping ... The best athlete he has played against is Jermaine
Dansby (high school teammate) ... The most famous person Josh has
met his Denzel Washington ... Would like to switch places for a day
with Kobe Bryant ... Would like to have dinner with his deceased
grandmother and Deron Williams of the Utah Jazz ... If he had a
million dollars, he would give most of it to his mom ... His advice
to young people - "work your hardest on the days you don't feel
like it" ... No one knows, according to Josh, how hard he has
worked on his game and how badly he wants to be great ... Most
people don't know how musically talented he is ... The title of his
autobiography would be - Just Do It ... If a movie was made about
his life, Denzel Washington would play the lead part ... Can't
imagine going a week without playing basketball or working out ...
His iPod is the possession he can't live without ... The biggest
obstacle he has overcome is proving everybody wrong ... Spending
