When all these different opportunities from a business perspective come your way, and there's a responsibility with, obviously, with the money you're earning, which we can talk about.

Again, you deserve every cent of it for your hard work and your talent.

But

How do you decide what you think, yeah, I'm keen on that or I'm not sure about that?

I'm so appreciative of your time.

I've got so many questions to ask you.

I'm fascinated by the world in which you live.

And when we get different athletes from Australia that have gone over and performed in America, I begin to understand the cutthroat nature of the business side of your world, which we can get to.

But where does it all start?

Obviously, there's a giddy before you who is pretty good at basketball.

In your mind, what was your first competitive game of basketball?

How old were you?

Who were you playing for?

It may not be your first, but the first that you can remember.

What was it about the game that grabbed you?

Obviously you look up to your parents as a youngster, and obviously they're involved in the sport.

But what was it about –

At what age – and I ask this of every guest and I always use the analogy.

There's Ricky Ponting of 260 episodes.

He's probably one in 10 that always had the natural talent that he was going to be able to play for Australia.
