1. Nice to see pro athletes with a social conscience, not enough these days
We need more Muhammad Ali's who are willing to take a stand and take the heat for it.

These days we have too many Michael Jordans: afraid to say anything controversial from fear of hurting their shoe sales.

4. Wow! Powerful stuff.
There's one athlete that didn't take his education for granted.

6. I call it an epic poem..not a speach..this man is a POET..he is not a
basketball player..I believe he uses his basket ball prowess in order to give his poetry a voice! This is more like a new age Shakespear then some sports figure!
