Ramon Rodriguez quotes:

I played college basketball in West Virginia for two years, and then I graduated from NYU with a sports management degree because I realized the NBA's not going to happen.

A friend told me about a Nike competition, where they give you one minute to do tricks with a basketball. I wasn't going to go, but they were giving away free sneakers. I ended up coming in second place.

I like new challenges and new experiences.

I interned for the Knicks for one year doing community relations, but I absolutely hated it. It was a desk job, and the team was not good at all, and I didn't realize how much that correlated to the office. It was just gray, gloomy days.

You don't make it anywhere without someone helping you out.

Growing up in New York City, my car culture is minimal. I rode on the train, the bus. I walked; I rode my bike, and when I was younger, I rode my skateboard.

On the streets, hanging out with the fellows, there are things you learn that no book can teach you.

My first celebrity crush... I had a huge crush on 'Cheetara' from 'ThunderCats.'

The camera never lies, man. I've learned that. If you allow it, it will see right through you, which is kind of cool.

I wasn't really excited about doing television, to be quite honest.
