When I talk to youngsters today, especially those involved in athletics, I tell them to get their education first.

When my first semester grades came out, my mom and dad told me I wouldn't be playing football.

I tell them how what matters is becoming the best you can be at whatever you're doing.

I kept on telling my parents school wasn't for me. And they were like, 'No you need to go university.'

I try to get them to remember that they're not just athletes, but student-athletes.

I'm a better and more educated person because of basketball.

I think any time you have too much education in one certain field, that can sometimes play against you.

The only thing I shall talk about is my sporting achievements at school. My primary sporting achievement at school was that I dodged games for two complete years and was well through the third year before they discovered that I had completely avoided all games.
