On February 24 2012 during NBA All Star weekend in Orlando FL.

He was asked to sit on the panel as a "History Maker" due to the book with NBA legends such as Spencer Haywood, Dolph Schayes, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Julius Erving, Earl Lloyd (first African American to play in NBA) along with Sharon Robinson (daughter of Jackie Robinson) and Dr. Richard Lapchick (son of legendary coach/player Joe Lapchick).
