The former MVP has plenty going on in his life to keep him busy after he stops dribbling a basketball: “The thing about being a professional athlete that I think is lost a lot of the time is what a huge crash it is to finish your career and try to find a pursuit of some sort afterwards,’ he said. ‘One thing that’s happened to me in the last couple of years is I’ve started to consciously create opportunities for myself off the court that can live much longer than my basketball career … I would urge any athlete to just be open-minded and broaden their possibilities while they’re playing so when they finish playing they have some passion and some opportunities to do some other things.”‘
