The 55-year-old 1995 NBA All Star and 1992 NBA Slam Dunk Champion, who played mostly for the Phoenix Suns and the Los Angeles Lakers, spoke to DAILY POST at the Power Forward Finals 2022, organised by Exxonmobil, NBA Africa and PanAfricare.
“It helps you get along and helps you work as a team. And I think that’s the most important thing, especially to try to convince the parents to allow the kids to play. “There’s a shift you know, I talked to the kids earlier and I told them the most important thing they have is time and I would love to play this game at the highest level for a long time but 11 years at the highest level was pretty good.
“And then like, for instance, Kobe Bryant. Basketball paid for his education, he went back and paid for it himself. He didn’t rely on the scholarship. So if the parents understand the concern, but allow the kids to dream and in the midst of dreaming, they’re going to achieve so much as human beings.
