General Interest

General
FAMILY SUPPORT
He spent 10 years competing in the NBA, playing for sides such as the Houston Rockets, the Indiana Pacers, and the Brooklyn Nets. He has also played for sides in Spain, Italy, and the People's Republic of China during his career. "My career has been great, it has been fantastic. I experienced the Olympic Games, I travelled, I met people, I was in places where I could never have been but for basketball. Does basketball have sacrifices? Yes, but putting it in the context of having 'suffered' does not reflect reality. But if you ask my children if they would prefer that we had done some more family stuff, I have no doubt that they would say yes. What Pamela [his wife] does is amazing. She follows me everywhere, takes the boys, and is ready to go to the next place with good vibes. I could always go with the peace of mind of knowing that we would make everything work."
