One of the best days of the year โ Clemente Day!
Pittsburgh Pirates players, staff, and executives spent this morning honoring The Great One through a number of initiatives across the Pittsburgh community.
Roberto Clementeโs legacy will be celebrated all day today! ๐คฉ
Today is a very emotional day for me.
After 17 seasons in the NBA, I can honestly say I gave this game everything I had.
Basketball gave me the opportunity to live a dream. As a kid from Brooklyn, NY, I was lucky to get a chance to display my talent on the biggest stage. From Fort Greene Projects to USC, to the Chicago Bulls , and every team and city that came after, Iโm grateful for every moment, every teammate, every coach, and every person who believed in me.
I wanted to be the guy my teammates could count on someone who brought toughness, energy, leadership, and heart every time I stepped on the court.
To my family, my friends, my teammates, my coaches, my agent, the NBA , NBPA and the fans, thank you. You were all a part of this journey.
But this isnโt goodbye to Basketball. Itโs the beginning of a new chapter.
After 31 years of basketball, I can walk away with no regrets, knowing I left everything on the floor. God has truly blessed me.
Thank you Basketball โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
Today we welcomed our season ticket holders on the field for our annual Photo Fest! Fans had the opportunity to meet and greet some of their favorite players. ๐ธ
Before Rod Thorn became my coach, he and Jerry West were my heroes.
Two West Virginia legends who made kids like me believe we could make it.

We entrust our children to schools believing the adults charged with their care will protect them; not exploit that trust. The allegations here are beyond disturbing. If proven, this is an appalling betrayal of students and their families, and those responsible should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Children deserve to feel safe at school. Period.
