My first movie. I think I won an Oscar for this.
They won't talk to you because I'm undercover.
A writer from ESPN magazine once described me as the world's largest eleven-year-old. That's true. I ride my Sea-Doo jet ski, play putt-putt golf, go to water parks, and act silly. On the bottom floor of my house in Beverly Hills, I have video games, a pool table, a Pepsi machine, and all the things they have in arcades. I drive go-karts, at least the ones I can fit in. I karate-chop my friends when they come over, like the Kato dude in the Pink Panther movies.
I'll just have to get it against my favorite team.
There was not too much to do as a kid when we arrived in Germany. Playing basketball and listening to music gave me something to do.
I'm a season kind of guy - not the preseason but the regular season.
Because I grew up with a drill sergeant in my life, I respect order and it really gave me the discipline to be a leader and not a follower. It also helped me stay out of trouble.
As a military child I first learned how to deal with different types of people and how to deal with order.
This is my disguise, but it doesn't work.
As a basketball fan, I get sick and tired of people talking about numbers. To me, the world is getting too materialistic.
Alvin's the coach. We must be the Clippers. And I must be Olowokandi. Nooooo!
He is an old glove, but he looked like the old Glove.
I'm a realist. I like to put it in business terms. I ran three different corporations my way and I was successful. But I'm an older guy who is on his way out so they brought me in as a consultant for the new, up-and-coming CEO. I'm here for him.
Being here feels like I'm out of prison. This is the right place, the right time, the right team.
