If I have affected someone in a positive way, that means a lot to me.
In every day, there are 1,440 minutes. That means we have 1,440 daily opportunities to make a positive impact.
It doesn't have to take a Portland Trail Blazer or a professional basketball player to do good things in the community. You can work at a bank or work at a 7-Eleven.
I feel like sometimes I'm in a position to really do some good, so I try to do that.
At the end of the day, when you're trying to do good, that's all that matters. Whether it's in a different aspect than in the N.B.A. or N.F.L., you should use your platform for good.
I have such an extraordinary platform where I am able to help people. To me, that's the number one priority.
It makes me happy to know that I've been able to impact people's lives.
Find a place where you add value to a community.
It's always amazing when a fan will say you've helped them through some kind of adversity.
The tremendous honor of playing on the world stage is even more rewarding when I am able to use my accomplishments to help others.
I've always felt I want to be of service to the world somehow. I haven't yet figured out how to do it, and I may never figure out how to do it.
If I change people's lives, that's all that matters to me.
I am privileged to be a part of 'Tere Bin.'
That's what it's all about, going out and being able to help in the community and help people around you. That's going to carry far longer than basketball ever will.
I'm just glad I can make a difference in someone's life.
Obviously, I don't like to use my new celebrity status as a way to get first class service at a restaurant. For me, it's just more special to use it for good.
Whatever I do, I want to impact people's lives in a positive way.
I love to be able to do something positive with what celebrity I have. I like to be able to make it about something bigger than me; if I can help in some way, I'm happy to do that.
That's the beauty of coaching. You get to touch lives, you get to make a difference. You get to do things for people who will never pay you back and they say you never have had a perfect day until you've done something for someone who will never pay you back.
I wanted to be a positive force in the world.
To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.
It is not enough just to wish well; we must also do well.
There's nothing better than seeing people you know being able to work and support their families. Knowing you have a little hand in it? Now, that really makes you feel good.
If I've helped one person, I feel really great, but I hear from people daily.
Statistically and emotionally, I believe that the way I can be of help to society is by doing what I know and what I've been good at.
