Growing up in New York City, my car culture is minimal. I rode on the train, the bus. I walked; I rode my bike, and when I was younger, I rode my skateboard.
From Ramon Rodriguez
The camera never lies, man. I've learned that. If you allow it, it will see right through you, which is kind of cool.
I spent a lot of time with the LAPD. I spent six weeks training, weapons training, ride-alongs, surveillance, interviewing them, in all different departments and divisions.
On the streets, hanging out with the fellows, there are things you learn that no book can teach you.
I wasn't really excited about doing television, to be quite honest.
Basketball paid for four years of my education, and I am so proud of that.
You don't make it anywhere without someone helping you out.
I grew up on Avenue C, and Tompkins Square Park was my park. That was where I played ball every day. I lived in that park.
I played college basketball in West Virginia for two years, and then I graduated from NYU with a sports management degree because I realized the NBA's not going to happen.
I interned for the Knicks for one year doing community relations, but I absolutely hated it. It was a desk job, and the team was not good at all, and I didn't realize how much that correlated to the office. It was just gray, gloomy days.
