Founder’s Message

13-Year Professional Basketball Player | 5-Time Hall of Famer

“As someone who spent over two decades playing the game I love around the world, I’ve seen first-hand the power sports has to change lives. But I’ve also seen the gaps—communities with talent, heart, and determination, but without access to the resources and support they need to thrive.

That’s why I started the I Give Foundation. This movement isn’t about me—it’s about creating equity, opportunity, and hope for the next generation of athletes, especially across underserved areas. Through Education, Health, Sports and beyond, we’re helping young people build confidence, find purpose, and unlock their full potential.

While I don’t lead all day-to-day operations, I proudly stand behind our mission, our team, and the incredible youth we serve. I believe in giving back. I believe in creating impact. I believe in the future.

I Give Foundation is here to present value & help change lives.
