missing all of the 2021-22 season
- What it's like being the oldest member of the youthful Magic
- His MMA fandom and why he likes to train in Brazilian jiu-jitsu
- Battles with mental health issues and how he's overcome them
- What it was like to hire -- and later fire -- his mother as his manager
- Getting drafted in the same class as and playing with perennial MVP
candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo
- And much more!
