On this episode of Live Life by Design, host Jeff Mendez sits down with Cedric Ceballos—1992 NBA Slam Dunk champion and former All-Star—to unpack an unlikely journey: from playing only five games in high school to a 12-year NBA career with the Suns, Lakers, Mavericks, and Heat. Cedric shares lessons on resilience, choosing the right system over the shiny opportunity, the realities of pro life, transitioning to the front office, and why falling in love with the process beats chasing the result. Inspirational, candid, and packed with practical takeaways for designing a life on your terms.Timestamps:0:00 Intro & name1:51 Drafted & teams3:34 Lakers homecoming6:47 Late-bloomer spark10:18 Pre-draft breakout11:20 Fit over draft hype12:00 Draft night emotions14:48 Rookie “point-a-minute”17:58 All-Star & Dunk Champ19:38 Overseas stints22:01 Pro life realities34:17 Process over results Hosted on Acast.
