I got hooked up with the NBA Nation and the next thing I knew I was judging the Sprite Slam Dunk Showdown. They needed somebody who can travel on the weekends and go up to eight different cities.

I think I got hooked up because I try to do good things with the NBA, and they always want somebody who's notable and who's personable with people.

I will try just about all the folk food we go to in any place.

Music? All kinda music. I don't just listen to one thing I listen to everything.

I'm six foot eleven. My birthday covers three days.

I was a power dunker. I want to go straight up, put it down on somebody. I want everybody under there.

Talk about the sickest dunk, we had one guy throw it off the library which was about 60-feet away, back onto the court it bounced, and he timed it, went over there and got it. It was outstanding, man. It was crazy.

For years, people always say, Ah, what about the dunk. It's still two points. But it energizes a team. If you're down and you get a monster dunk, everybody gets psyched. Oh yeah, let's go, let's go. So it was dying down a little bit and guys, I think, they took it upon themselves. They got energy on it and started trying different stuff.

You gotta try something people ain't seen before, and you gotta go to the gym and work on your dunks. In a slam dunk competition, don't show up with three dunks. You got to have eight or nine dunks because if you get into the finals and two guys may do the same dunk or one guy does the dunk better than the other.

When everything is said and done there is nothing left to do or say.
