I've read that you and Maddie Potts have done service community work.
Tell me about that.
>> We have tried to get into the community in the last two years.
This year especially.
Last-- two weeks ago maybe, we went and did some urban gardening with the local primary school and I think that was such an amazing experience, not only did I learn a lot about gardening, which I had never learned before.
But you know, just being out there in the community with the kids I think it really puts into perspective like it's a lot bigger than basketball.
And to be able to be that figure for the young kids to have them strive towards something is really-- it really makes you feel good.
And I think it's-- yeah, it really puts into perspective like the position I'm in and how lucky I am to be where I am.
So, yeah, it's a really amazing experience.
>> I want to thank you for coming down.
>> Thank you for having us.
>> Of course, our pleasure.
>> It is so important because in our community, this is classified as a food desert and a lot of young kids, their parents would have to go probably about a mile to get fresh vegetables.
We try and get the kids to do more.
We want to get the kids started at a young age, plus not only that, to show the neighborhood that we care; the kids care, and get some of these corner stores to have some fresh vegetables.
And we would like for you to help them to do that.
And I'm going to have them have a chance to introduce themselves.
>> Kind of easy.
>> Do you know... >> I just got here and look how much I got left.
>> These are all grown from seed that the kids have put in the soil to grow.
We are going to transfer the seeds that have grown this far into some of our towers.
Kids have really gotten attached to it.
The more we grow and do that for the kids, we want to start to educate them a little bit further because we all know people are putting hydroponics right in their basement, getting tomatoes, lettuce and various other vegetables.
>> 2, 3... >> (Cheering).
