      Every time I play, I play for my brother. He died when I was 7 and he was 10 and It was his favorite day July 4th. His name was Chris. I didn't know he was going to go it was out of know where. He couldn't breathe and that was it. I took family for granted and no one should ever do that

    Now Matisse is playing in the Olympics for Australia, he's fast become a favourite for Australian hoops fans. Looking at his background shown in this video, you can see where he gets his character from and why he fits in so well on this Boomers team. No ego, plays hard, and just a good guy.
