BLP allows limited use of sources self-published by the subject per WP:BLP#Using the subject as a self-published source. I've trimmed the information cited to his Linkedin profile a little. January (talk) 20:57, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Symbol possible vote.svg A few issues: 1) There's some unverified material in this article. Footnote 2 doesn't seem to support the fact that he was "just the second" to be named Player of the Year twice. The first paragraph under 'College' has a number of facts that aren't mentioned in footnote 4 (at least as far as I can see). 2) Some of the material cited to his LinkedIn profile is inaccurate, or not supported. E.g. co-founding a media company since retiring from basketball. On that basis, I would question the statement that he retired from the sport "to enter the business world."
