TSS: Dream place to perform as an artist? Why?

Ron: Dream place not sure, but my dream is to open up for Nelly one day. I really like Nelly's style and what he has to say - he's upbeat, unique and isn't talking about killing people.

TSS: Three gadgets you have to have with you @ all times?

Ron: Blackberry, laptop and Ipod, so I can stay connected via email, phone and send and receive mp3s anytime I need to.

TSS: Give us an artist/group from another genre that you'd like to collabo. Someone outside of the box that people wouldn't expect.

Ron: Celine Dion. She has an amazing voice. I really like the sound and beautiful quality of her voice. She's an extremely talented singer.

TSS: Cormega or Nas?

Ron: Nas.

TSS: You've made it known throughout your NBA career that music was something that you wanted to pursue. Which coach or front office has been the most receptive and/or supportive of the idea?

Ron: The Kings and Eric Musselman have been very supportive of my music career, and I need to thank them for that. They have been really understanding and know how important music is to me so I gotta give them mad props for that.

TSS: Have you asked the advice of other NBA players who ventured into rap (AI, Webber, Rasheed)?

Ron: Nah, I didn't ask any of them for advice. But I gotta hand it to Shaq, cuz his album went platinum!
