Being able to touch so many people through my businesses and make money while doing it, is a huge blessing.

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.

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

Standing on that platform, I said a silent prayer. I thanked God for giving me the strength and the opportunity to come back, to play basketball again, and to be part of that whole magnificent Olympic experience. It's a memory I will always cherish.

A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything. Jealousy is invariably a symptom. Just like right now with the whole mortgage crisis, I want to help people get back into their homes.

Research your idea. See if there's a demand. A lot of people have great ideas, but they don't know if there's a need for it. You also have to research your competition.

I'm a big believer in dreaming. If you don't dream it, you can't become it.
