What did you want to be when you were growing up?
I wanted to be a Celtic! Kind of like Bill Russell was a player/coach, I wanted to be a player/owner.
What is your athletic claim-to-fame?
During a pre-season high school basketball game I hit a buzzer beating three to send the game into overtime. The coach later told me it was the only reason I made the team.

I think I would have my good friend DJ Turbz create something original for me, maybe something along the lines of the superman theme and So Fresh and So Clean by Outkast.

Hoosiers has always been one of my favorite movies, but White Men Can't Jump has to be a close second when it comes to favorite basketball movies.
