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.
I want to be here for a long time, so I am going to do everything I have to do to be here. And I want to walk my daughter down the aisle and give her away to somebody some day. I want to make sure I am still here to make sure my two young sons become men.
Being able to touch so many people through my businesses and make money while doing it, is a huge blessing.

I’m a big believer in dreaming. If you don’t dream it, you can’t become it.
You either have to be great or you have to be bad to get a good pick.
Life doesnt stop because something happens to you.
I enjoy being the messenger for God in terms of letting people know about HIV and AIDS.
To me, everything is wonderful. Life is wonderful.
When you are a successful business person, you are only as good as your team. No one can do every deal alone.
I love coming to work. I never have a bad day.
