And I want to do it the right way, like everybody else, not just a famous figurehead that gets a job because he is a famous basketball player. I want to really learn the business.

I started out as a football player. I liked to inflict pain. In basketball, it was the same thing.

A bass player has to think and play like a bass player. A drummer has to play and think like a drummer, and stay out of the way of the vocalist. The guitar player has to respect everybody else.

When I'm done playing basketball, I want do something bigger. I'm working on my doctorate right now at Barry University in Florida.

Artists are like everybody else.

I always wanted to be a basketball player.
