Mark: Now that your playing days are over, are you hoping to stay involved with the league?
Chris: Oh absolutely, but probably on the business side. I would love to get involved in an ownership capacity with a team, either here or potentially with NBA Europe. I was the president of the NBA Players Association for years, so I know my way around the business components of the league.
Mark: I’m a San Antonio Spurs fan, and you played there for two years toward the end of your career. What do you make of the squad now?
Chris: The Spurs organization is like no other. Stephon Castle, even though he’s young, plays with an incredible maturity, and Dylan Harper, who was just in the Dunk Contest, is incredibly talented as well. When I was playing there, it was a tough time for me personally though, because it was the sixth year I was away from my family, who live in Los Angeles. I’m happy to be back with them full-time now.
