He started Defender

2000, a youth organiza-

sports, education and
community goodwill,”
according to its website.
The sport of choice, of
course, is basketball.
“I really felt it was my
calling,” he said. “Ev-

see somebody playing
basketball. It’s played
pretty-much year-round
... with other sports there
are limitations. Basket-
ball, indoors or outdoors,
it’s the same game.
“Everybody seems to
understand it. Every-
body seems to gravitate
to it.”
And, he said, “it’s easy
to teach.
“Everybody likes see-
ing the ball go through
the hoop.”
But, he’s quick to
point out, “it’s not just
about basketball.”

said with a laugh.
“They come out of the

“It’s just amazing.”

He still lives by that
