you are in a league that is famous for trash talking, for the braggadocios stand. for i am the you know. yeah. and frankly we have some of that in the white house. i mean, there is a leadership model in the white house that s very braggadocios and very put down the other person. you are a world class leader. why does your leadership model work? i think it s ju being authentic. like, you are able to relate to a lot of drent people cause you appreciate what they bring to the table. for me, you know, there is 15 other guys on my team. and we all ce from different back grunds and have different stories or how we got to the nba. but for me as a leader i value what each person is and what each person brings to the table. i think that ssomething that the white house could maybe, you know, i think change a little bit and kind of adopt is just everybody has a reason that they are here, has a value, has a worth, and to celebrate that.

comfortable doing that. get the big salary, get the sneaker deal and be quiet. why are you going beyond that? i think we can control our own voice. when you talk about social media of the world and your words and actions go a lot further. i think just the athlete in general is less afraid of what the consequences might be or the ramifications of taking a stand. why? or having a voice. you don t like money? you don t like deals? what changed? i don t know what changed. you saw what happened with kaepernick and nfl guys and their protests and things like that which i applaud. i don t know. you stuck up for kaepernick. one thing to stand for obama. some people stood back from it. you stood with kaepernick. why? because he is putting his money where his mouth is and he
to that post-presidency. that s, for me, to get an inside look at what that means and how i can support it any way that i can. it means a lot. my brother s keepers about young, mostly men of color, trying to help them to rise. you don t draw your circle there. every time you make a three-pointer, as happy as we are in california, there are people in africa that are happy about your three-pointer. tell the cnn audience about nothing but nets. a great initiative that has been formed to eradicate malaria in africa. northwest tanzania at a refugee camp where there is about 10,000 refugees there and saw it first hand how parents there can t protect their kids from the simple things, a mosquito bite, and how many kids have been affected by malaria and how easy it is to prevent it. we have continued to raise awareness and raise money to
