Dunkman, in an interview, recalled the time he grew up with his siblings. He also credited them for making him the player he is today. As a kid, he would play the dribble game with his brothers. And they did not make it easier for him. He said:

It was a tough game, but I always enjoyed it. No rules, no fouls; just try to make it. They’d beat up on me a lot, but they're part of the reason why I play the way I do now. I started playing angry, just to beat them, and I kind of kept that throughout my career.
