Q&a Mark Price

Price: The most popular sports are Australian rules football and cricket. Basketball would probably follow. More young kids play basketball over there than any sport, particularly with guys like Andrew Bogut making a splash in the States.

SI: You hold the NBA's career free throw mark (90.4%). It must kill you to see players brick free throws.

Price: It's frustrating to watch guys miss free throws so often. My dad was a coach, and that was one of his pet peeves. And I didn't want my dad to yell at me.

SI: Have you seen an Aussie rules football game?

Price: I was watching a lot of it when I was over there. But they call it footy. You gotta get your lingo right.
