I met wonderful people playing in the NBA. Whether it is the officials, the scorekeepers, all the people who work for the NBA, not just for the Lakers, but I'm talking about just for the league itself.

I'm at peace with myself. The main thing is not letting people dictate what I do or what I am.

I am a businessman. This is what I do each and every day. I love it. I love coming to work. I never have a bad day.

Life doesnt stop because something happens to you.

I was able to see what I wanted to do, I could see the opportunity, even when others could not, and I stay committed to doing it and doing it well, no matter what.

Magic is who I am on the basketball court. Earvin is who I am.

When you are honest and open with young people, they let you in.
