I agree. Confident, yet humble. He was given a bad rap during the run to the Olympics. The media tried to paint his Pops and him as difficult. Guess that's what happens when you judge from the outside looking in, rather than going straight to the source.Comment

Can't wait to see him be a champion.. I am from the DC/MD area and watched his brothers and all of them are good. His older brother was the truth !!!
No doubt he will be a champion. His father has done a tremendous job with all his sons. Much respect to him..Comment
