Everyone thought I was going to die like a year later, they didn't know. So I helped educate sports, and then the world, that a man living with HIV can play basketball. He's not going to give it to anybody by playing basketball.

I really want people to know that I've worked hard, very hard, to get to where I am today.. this didn't just happen overnight. I started in business over 25 years ago and have found a way to build on what I've learned through every partnership and opportunity.

If you want to be successful, you have to be willing to use every connection you’ve got.

My father is my idol, so I always did everything like him. He used to work two jobs and still come home happy every night.

To me, everything is wonderful. Life is wonderful.

WE all have to play as a team to make the world a better place

It all started when I got injured early in my second season. This turned out to be as difficult emotionally as physically.
