It's been an interesting journey.
It's been frustrating at points of time, you know, and things that I still think that players should get access to.
But I'm appreciative of my journey.
I've learned a lot from a business standpoint.
Say that again?
My answer is no.
What I think needs to change, I think players should, and this is one of the things I was mentioning that causes some of the frustration, I think players should be able to invest alongside in ownership groups and business opportunities.
Like, I don't understand why that's ever been a thing, but it's like, you're an athlete, and they make it seem like, you know, they can control how much wealth or growth that you could actually accumulate.
I think that's wrong.
I also think that, just like...
Any other major corporation, like when you are, if you work for Apple or if you work for Nike or if you work for anywhere, like if you're a CEO, if you're someone that's been on the board for a large amount of time, you get equity.
in the company at some point, you are a part of it.
And I think athletes should be looked at in the same way.
You play for the Celtics for 20 years, you should get a piece of equity because you helped accumulate the growth.
You know, and that's the part that gets lost in translation is the growth from an organization, you know, a growth from a company or a corporation, you know, the sweat equity that you put in, you get compensated just like for doing your job, but you don't get compensated for the growth.
And in major corporations and companies you do, or at least some of the big ones, you know.
So that's something that, you know,
I would propose, I have proposed, but we'll see.
