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.
我对这个决定实在感到自豪、兴奋。这来的不容易。很荣幸能把喀麦隆、法国和美国都称
作是自己的家。在和家人交谈后，我决定选择美国队。我要和在联盟的兄弟们一起打球，
也要回报打从第一天来联盟时为我打气的球迷们。但更重要的是，我要纪念生在美国的儿
子。我想让我的孩子知道，我为他打了职业生涯的第一场奥运会比赛。
