Enes Kanter talks about how Jalen Rose inspired him to open his own Charter School in OKC. Marcus Smart shares how Grant Hill's love of art blossomed into a traveling exhibit showcasing renowned Black artists. And Harrison Barnes tells the story of Bill Walton, an OG who dedicated his time off the court to various causes like anti-war efforts and helping those with chronic pain.
