My wife's income allowed me to do what I really loved. I realized that women's liberation is men's liberation, too. ↗

In college I never realized the opportunities available to a pro athlete. I've been given the chance to meet all kinds of people, to travel and expand my financial capabilities, to get ideas and learn about life, to create a world apart from basketball. ↗
