There are only a few athletes I respect and those are the ones that use their fame and talents off the court.
Of course, we see many athletes recognized for their charitable work and it's always nice to see ones that are passionate about it on a political level and are actively engaging in solutions to problems we face in our world.
It was great to see Melo share his commitment to his charitable work and speak a little on issues we face in our world.
