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.
