Jamal Mashburn
The Operator
Execution, delivery and performance, gets the hard thing done.
Jamal Mashburn reads as The Operator because rigor precedes everything he touches. Before his rookie season he had already mapped food, transportation, and housing as investment verticals, then learned balance sheets alongside his business manager.
“I sat down and we drilled it basically on my own balance sheet and cash flow statement. He said what do you want to be in — food, transportation, and housing. It was very simplistic.”
“I don't have an appetite for working for somebody. I always wanted to be the person that could make the vision and make it come alive and employ other people.”
“I walked away from twenty-four million dollars. They offered me an extension to stay and I said I can't do it — I don't feel like I can play to that level.”
