I wanted to do two things when I was growing up, about your age. I wanted to play in the NBA, and I wanted to be a businessman after my basketball career was over, and that is what I am doing now.

To me, everything is wonderful. Life is wonderful.

A lot of black guys always ask me, 'Did Larry Bird really play that good?' I said, 'Larry Bird is so good it's frightening.'

The audience likes their emotions to be touched. They want to laugh and cry and feel good.

I enjoy being the messenger for God in terms of letting people know about HIV and AIDS.

My diet is mostly chicken and fish. I make sure I get a lot of vegetables, a lot of fruit. I am a big fruit man, I am a vegetable man anyway. And I also get a lot of rest. That's the key I may be up early, but I'm in bed early too.

I guess when people ask what is the biggest transition to the NBA from college, it is definitely defense and the mental part.
