And it enabled him to reach into my life and for me to have insight into his life...[S]ometimes he didn't understand how race could affect somebody. And he didn't see that until he was with me, and we went through incidents where he saw that geez, he wouldn't like to have experienced that. And he didn't think that other Americans were that mean-spirited and cruel at times, the way that [B]lack people experience those emotions and sentiments from their fellow Americans. And he said he learned so much from what he saw me go through as his star player."

When you’re working together, though, there’s so much that is shared, so much unspoken thought and emotion that goes into the work, that it really draws you closer."
