Right Up Until The Time I Retired

At Age 31, In 1981, I Was Voted The Best Player In Basketball, And The Most Valuable Player In The League.

I Think I Started Learning Lessons About Being A Good Person Long Before I Ever Knew What Basketball Was. And That Starts In The Home, It Starts With The Parental Influence.

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.

They Are Taking Steps, But They Are Baby Steps.

When I Get A Chance To Power Jump Off Both Legs, I Can Lean, Twist, Change Directions And Decide Whether To Dunk The Ball Or Pass It To An Open Man. In Other Words, I May Be Committed To The Air, But I Still Have Some Control Over It.
