To whom much is given, much is required. For two-time NBA All-Star Allan Houston and his wife, Tammi, that Bible verse provides powerful words to live by.
“It was always bigger than basketball. I knew that I had talent, but I was always taught that the talent was for a bigger reason and purpose,” the former Knicks shooting guard said. “You win first from within.”
Speaking to a crowd of students, faculty and staff in Thomas J. Burke Lounge at Iona University this fall, the Houstons shared words of wisdom about their personal and professional journeys, including parenting seven children as well as launching a social impact brand.
“You are going to learn a lot of information from your professors and your classrooms,” Houston said. “But wisdom comes from God. And it comes from how you apply that information you’re going to get.”
