Uh when you were little , were you wanting to be a basketball star or you , were you wanting to be a writer ? Completely a basketball star ? Um I was sort of like the class clown , like very loud and boisterous redhead in every school I went to , uh , academics was not really my strongest suit .
Ok . So you are a former US SB basketball star . You're also a philanthropist .
So then I just started writing it and , you know , here we are . So , um so , well , you already got the basketball star thing out of the way I feel like , so now you can be like a writer like , oh , you can be , you are , which is incredible . Um I love that your dad asked , when's your next book ?
Um So my theory is as Children , we know what we want to do when we grow up . Uh when you were little , were you wanting to be a basketball star or you , were you wanting to be a writer ? Completely a basketball star ?
And uh yeah , I mean , it , I think I like , I think I reflect on my time as a player and think about how that was the best thing I ever did , you know , is like , give back to people that are maybe going through a a are not , maybe are going through a much tougher time than any of us realize . Um And so I , I started getting these opportunities to like , bring kids onto the hat on into the , the gym , like half time and give them a , you know , awards and give them signed jerseys . And yeah , I started doing like all this philanthropy through this university .
