As A Kid, I Played

I Firmly Believe That Respect Is A Lot More Important, And A Lot Greater, Than Popularity.

Right Up Until The Time I Retired At Age 37, I Felt Like There Were Still Things That I Could Do Better.

At Age 31, In 1981, I Was Voted The Best Player In Basketball, And The Most Valuable Player In The League.

My Role Models In The Business Were The Older Guys On My Team When I First Got There: Gray Scott, Adrian Smith, Roland Taylor. These Were The Guys Who Took Me Under Their Wing, And Really Schooled Me In Terms Of What The Business Was About.

One Of The Things In The Back Of My Mind Is That, After My Sports Experience, I Never Want To Be, Totally Consumed By Any One Endeavor, Other Than My Family Life.
