The passions I have in my life are my family, music, books, I'm an avid plant collector, and I love to ride my bike.

My bike is my gym, my wheelchair, and my church all in one.

Growing up, my parents were very, very strict. And then I went to UCLA with John Wooden, who was just off the charts.

I like a lot of other music and listen to a lot of other music, but one of the greatest things about the Grateful Dead is they played all the time.

Right now, you know, it's not about the refs or anything else, it's about hitting first, getting on the run and never looking back.

I live by the motto of "chase your dream, make your dream your job, make your job your life."

I'm a fan and a friend, I met them in 1974 when I first joined the NBA and my life has never been he same since. I became the basketball player I was because of the Grateful Dead.
