COLLIN SEXTON: Just a little bit.
MICHELLE GINGRAS: Hey!
COLLIN SEXTON: It's hard writing on that.
MICHELLE GINGRAS: So last year, taking the league by storm, how has your game evolved in year two?
COLLIN SEXTON: I'm just getting better-- being a better teammate, a better person on the court, and just a better leader. I feel like I've gotten better on both ends, on the defense as well as the offensive end. And I feel like that's what's pretty much helped me.
MICHELLE GINGRAS: All right. What did you tell me your hidden talent was?
COLLIN SEXTON: I can juggle.
MICHELLE GINGRAS: You can juggle?
COLLIN SEXTON: Yeah.
MICHELLE GINGRAS: Where did you learn how to do that?
COLLIN SEXTON: I don't know, honestly. I think maybe my brother-- he maybe taught me.
MICHELLE GINGRAS: That's a hard thing to pick up, though, randomly.
COLLIN SEXTON: Yeah, just a little bit.
MICHELLE GINGRAS: It takes some time.
COLLIN SEXTON: It was random.
MICHELLE GINGRAS: Do you still juggle at all or no?
COLLIN SEXTON: A little bit. Not too much because I don't have time.
MICHELLE GINGRAS: You also said, the gameday superstition you eat the same amount of food? Oh, you weigh your food?
COLLIN SEXTON: No. Like, same meals as always. Like a sandwich each and every game-- a sandwich and a salad and call it a day.
MICHELLE GINGRAS: You know what I didn't ask you, what's your favorite cheat-day meal or postgame meal?
COLLIN SEXTON: I don't know. Maybe some ice cream or something.
MICHELLE GINGRAS: Some ice cream?
COLLIN SEXTON: Yeah.
MICHELLE GINGRAS: Haagen-Dazs or Ben and Jerry's?
COLLIN SEXTON: Haagen-Dazs.
