I've turned down a few awards too. Being recognized makes you feel good, but I wasn't looking for any awards. I do it for my heart. People were good to me when I was young so I have to pay it back. It's the way I was brought up.

It's rewarding to have a kid who's never played the game and see them dribbling, passing, and shooting three months later—some of them with both hands—it's amazing.

I stopped for coffee and there was a guy under the bridge. He had no coat and was cold. I offered him a coffee but he said he just needed to get warm so I gave him my hat, my coat, and my gloves. The people in the store asked where my coat was and I told them I gave it away and they told me I was crazy but I did it from my heart.
