Like most people I am spending this summer with family and great friends. Having these moments with my children and my grandson are priceless memories. My life has been filled with some great memories; from my Dunbar Poet days, to Wake Forest, all the way through the NBA. As of late I’ve had a few fan ask “How does it feel to be retired?” or “What do you do now that you are retired?”. To be honest, I do the same things that I did prior to retiring.
I’ve always enjoyed helping the youth, so my basketball camps are still important to me. I still contribute to the community and dedicate my time to as many organizations and causes as I possibly can. I love reading the comments, posts, and tweets from fans that tell me that I was able to be a role model for them. My goal is to continue to grow as a role model; I want to be just as much of an inspiration now as I was then.
No matter how old we get, growth never grows old. It’s all about looking back and then giving back. Trust me when I say that dedicating your time to make a difference is more rewarding to you than those you help. I encourage everyone to find a cause or to support an organization with your time. Time is a resource that we all have in common and if we use it correctly we’ll make a timeless difference.
