I can do something else besides stuff a ball through a hoop. My biggest resource is my mind.

I think Kwame will be an asset to the Lakers.

High school dropouts are forfeiting their opportunity to pursue the American Dream.

I think I really benefited from going to college.

I wanted to play baseball!

A lot of young players don't really know much about the history of the game and a lot of them are missing out on what the game is all about, especially the whole concept of sportsmanship and teamwork.

But people don't know if I can teach the game. I know I can. My experience in Oklahoma was positive. It opened my eyes to how the game is played - the interaction among players, fans and media, how all that works. You have to know about the business of the game and how the actions of players and coaches affect the business. I think I have it down now.
