While everybody is always talking about Stephen Curry, Andrew Lovedale is the heart and soul of the Davidson Wildcats.

Name: Andrew Lovedale

Age: 23

Hometown: Benin City, Nigeria

Height: 6-8

Weight: 220

Shoe size: 15

Position: Forward/Center

My Home Court: I’ve only played basketball for seven years. I started at the Amaechi Basketball Centre in Manchester, UK.

Playing Experience: Loretto (England) and the Amaechi Basketball Centre, which was in conjunction with my high school. I played with Manchester Magic.

Current Team: Davidson Wildcats

Favorite Sneakers: I’m just glad enough to have shoes to play the game with. I just got the new Hyperdunks. The first pair I think were Air Force 1s, but I didn’t play ball in them.

Favorite Player: Tim Duncan was the one I liked a lot. I always like the way he shoots off the glass and faces up.

Favorite Team: San Antonio Spurs

Go-to-Move: The face up jumper, face up jab step, and the turnaround jab step. That’s my favorite. I have a host of other moves I like to do too.

I play: To have fun. It’s a fun game and I play all the time. For the most part it’s for fun.

Coming up I admired: I always admired my Mom. She was always someone I looked up to. My Mom was very athletic. She played ping pong, soccer, volleyball, high jump. She ended up playing table tennis and represented my state. Being my Mom, she took care of me, so I looked up to her. My Dad was a great soccer player too, but he twisted his ankle. I guess that’s where he stopped.

My basketball moment: Against Gonzaga in the 2008 NCAA first round when I chased a rebound and threw it to Steph for a three. It was very instrumental to the comeback and us winning the game.
