Metta World Peace: From NBA Stardom to Mental Health Advocate

I think it was Harlem to go to his dad's league basketball to show up for his dad. I mean, I would like to say I'm a role model, but an example is much better to me, because I'm an example of how things could go if you do right, how things can go if you do wrong, and I'm an example of how to give back and how to be a mentor.
