Right.
Why do you care and why should our other brothers and sisters that have financial strength out here should be going back and caring?
Well, I get that sense.
I mean, that's the perfect question.
I get that sense from my grandmother.
My grandmother was a community worker up in the Grand Rapids.
Michigan. Shout out to GRAP. And she, she worked in the community, was a social worker. So she
would just touch so many different families' lives and students were coming to our office
all throughout the year to just talk about the next step and their plan. And she was a woman
at a church as well. So she was always at church and used to make us go to church, not just on
Sunday. We was there Wednesday, Tuesday, and Sunday. You know what I mean? So I get that sense of
community for my grandmother for sure because she just when she passed away like you should have seen the
people was coming from ohio all type all over just all over the u.s just to show respect for for one woman
for one lady so that that you know i'm the light of my grandmother for sure but as an athlete
i feel like the people around you like i said like the the machine and the the people around you
want to they want to keep you controlled and pacified they want you to think that your influence is
only use for entertainment. I'm not here to entertain. Like I'm not, I'm not an entertainer. I'm not here
to play basketball for, for, you know, these owners and entertain some people that, you know,
I never even met. I believe that you as a athlete, you know, you're like the modern day
warriors. You have influence in your neighborhood and your community. And when you're from,
and that influence shouldn't be just used on just money, cars, and clothes. And, you know, you're like,
the lifestyle that influence comes with responsibility to take care of your family you know
inspire the next generation um take care of your community you know be an influence be a role model
um i truly believe that goes hand in hand i think that's a part of the responsibility but
everybody from the other side is trying to convince you that nah you don't you know don't worry
about anything that stuff just worry about yourself you know what i mean don't
don't focus on you just focus on basketball we'll take care of everything else we'll take care
of them then the people that be taking advantage of us that'd be saying that stuff you know just worry
about you just get yourself a nice car here get yourself a nice watch you know because who owns the
watch company who owns the car company like who owns the stuff that you giving the money and all that
back right back to the people who gave you know what I mean to the community who gave it to you
you're giving it right back to that same community so um to me it's always been about that
that. I always using my platform from day one. It's not like I just woke up and just had this
epiphany. I'm going to be like this. Like I've been like this from day one. You can go back
and do the research. But, you know, just trying to be additive to my community here in
Boston in the Bay Area in Oakland and in Atlanta where I grew up in other communities as well.
I'm just trying to teach them that, you know, our young kings in Queens, they ain't
forgot where they came from. You know, and I try to be an example of that.
