So let's go ahead and dive in. The thing I love the most about you is that you really care about other human beings. Your heart is so big, even though you've been known for this focus mentality that is just almost psycho in some ways, but you care deeply about human beings. And I think that's why so many people love you as well.
So I want to acknowledge you for your kindness and your generosity towards humanity. My first question for you is I'm curious about Who was your greatest teacher growing up? Because you had an interesting childhood being in Italy for a while, coming back to Philadelphia, I think it was. Who was the greatest teacher for you in those early days?
That's funny. I had a lot of them. My parents were great. Growing up, they instilled in me the importance of imagination, of curiosity, and understanding that, okay, if you want to accomplish something, I'm not just going to sit here and say, yes, you can do whatever you want. Yes, you can. But you have to also put in the work to get there, right? So they taught me that at a really early age, man.
And when you grow up as a kid, thinking that the world is your oyster, all things are possible if you put in the work to do it, you know, you grew up having that fundamental belief.
Yeah. Who was more influential for you, your father or mother?
Both were influential at different points. My mom was there on a daily basis. My father was really influential at a really critical time where I had a summer where I played basketball when I was like 10 or 11 years old in a very prominent summer league in Philadelphia called the Sunny Hill League. Where my father played, my uncle played, and they were like all-time greats and stuff. 11, 10, 11.
You're playing against other 10, 11-year-olds? You didn't score once? Not one. Were you in the game? I was in the game. How did you not score? Because I was terrible.
Really? Yeah. At 10 or 11 years old, you were that terrible. Awful. I mean, you know, and I had these big knee pads on because I was growing really fast. I have socks all the way up here. And I had like the high top face. Skinny. Like skinny. And I scored not a free throw, not a nothing, not a lucky shot, not a breakaway layup, zero points. And I remember crying about it and being upset about it.
