30 years ago tonight, I became a member of the bucks, and my life was forever changed. I’ll always be grateful to the city of Milwaukee and the organization for believing in me enough to select me with the 5th pick in the NBA Draft. That moment opened the door to opportunities, relationships, and experiences I could have never imagined. Congratulations to every young man preparing to walk across that stage and shake the hand of NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. Enjoy every second of it. You’ve worked your entire life for this moment, but remember—this is not the destination. It’s the beginning of an incredible journey. And to the parents: don’t stop being Mom and Dad. The NBA is what your son does, not who he is. Continue to guide him, challenge him, and love him the same way you did before draft night. Enjoy the ride. It goes by faster than you think. #5thpick 1996nbadraft nba
