I had a couple of investments that didn’t go my way. That’s why I laugh at guys who say, ‘Oh, I’m going to open a clothing line. I’m going to start a restaurant.’
A big inspiration for me is Shaquille O’Neal. I’ve seen what he’s done with his career and his investments beyond basketball.

I don’t invest in the stock market.

So I’m invested in funds, but not in individual – not in individual stocks.
