Former Boston Celtics standout and NBA free agent, Jared Sullinger, got honest with host Michael Redd about surrounding yourself with the right people, the hardest part about going pro at a young age, and how to rekindle your motivation.

“You have to play every game like it’s your last because you never know what’s going to happen.” – Jared Sullinger

Coming out of his incredible, undefeated final year of high school Jared was a 2010 McDonald's All-American co-MVP, James A. Naismith Award winner, and a highly sought after star recruit.

He played college basketball for two years at Ohio State University – led the Buckeyes to the 'Final Four' of the 2012 NCAA tournament – and was drafted 21st overall by the Boston Celtics in the NBA draft the same year.

After four seasons with the Celtics, Jared also played for the Toronto Raptors for a season, and in the Chinese Basketball Association.
