If I Hadn't Become A Professional Basketball

If Not For The Success That Medicine Has Made, I Might Be Part Of A Much Different Story Right Now.

A Lot Of Young Players Don't Really Know Much About The History Of The Game And A Lot Of Them Are Missing Out On What The Game Is All About, Especially The Whole Concept Of Sportsmanship And Teamwork.

Either Because I Was An Athlete Or Because I Was Black - Probably Both - There Seemed To Be A Clear Assumption That I Wouldn't Be Up To The Work.

I've Always Tried To Stay Out Of The Fray And Not Be An Object Of Controversy.

I Love Basketball, But Playing Basketball Doesn't Fully Define Who I Am. I Was Always A Good Student, Too.
