Yeah, I was TRIPPIN’!!! 😂I let my players talk me into going to see wild capybaras in Argentina! 🇦🇷 Never thought I’d be out here looking for the world’s largest rodents in their natural habitat! 😂 Crazy experience, but another unforgettable adventure! 🌎 #harlemglobetrotters

Woke up feeling INSPIRED! 🙌🏾 The people have spoken! People are tired of the hate, the division, the lack of empathy, the cruelty, and the greed. My timeline was filled with people exercising their right to vote, bringing their families along, and making their voices heard!

BLESSED beyond words to see this vision becoming a reality! 🙏🏾🏡 A lot that sat vacant for 25 years is being transformed into homes that families will one day OWN, not just rent! Even more special, they’re being built by people from our own community! TO GOD BE THE GLORY! 🙌🏾❤️

One of my favorite parts of being a Harlem Globetrotter has always been serving as an Ambassador of Goodwill. We are blessed to travel the world, but the greatest reward is having the opportunity to make a difference and leave the world a little better than we found it. 🙏🏽

It was truly an honor having my little buddy Parker on the bench with us at our game here in Alaska. ❤️🏀 Parker has an incredible story of courage and survival. After a tragic boating accident that claimed the lives of his brother and cousin, he survived after 3 days! 🙏🏽

Another first for me! My first time swimming in a cenote, and what an incredible experience! 160 feet deep, with water so crystal clear and refreshing. Life is all about embracing new experiences, exploring the world, and appreciating the beauty around us. #harlemglobetrotters

Truly blessed to travel the world and experience so many amazing places and cultures. Today I visited the ancient Mayan city of Dzibilchaltún in Mexico. One of the greatest gifts of traveling is the opportunity to experience history and learn firsthand. Forever grateful! 🙏🏽
