And I Continued To Grow Until I

The First Professional Game That I Ever Played Remains, To Me, The Most Exciting Moment Of My Professional Career.

I Started Playing Professional Basketball In 1971, And I Played Professionally For Five Seasons Before Going To Philadelphia.

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.

The Biggest Thing That I Felt Basketball Could Do For Me Was Help Me Get A Good Education.

I Wanted To Undertake The Challenge Of Daring To Be Great.
