Talent is never enough. With few exceptions the best players are the hardest workers.

We are a company that lives and breathes a philosophy that's centered on not only making sound business decisions but also personally and professionally finding ways to contribute to the well being of society. We are also a company that understands community.

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.

The worst moment from all of this was driving from that doctor's office, to tell my wife that I was HIV positive.

Life doesnt stop because something happens to you.

Most people who are healthy, and I'm healthy, can't even live my life. Trust me. I get up 530-6 every morning. I'm in the gym. I run a couple miles. I lift weights, and then I'm at work until 8-9 o'clock at night.

The looks, the stares, the giggles . . . I wanted to show everybody that I could do better and also that I could read.
