The president of the United States should not be tweeting.

I love sports because it takes me away from reality, and I tell people, 'No matter how bad your life is, if you are having problems at home, you are having problems at work, that's the beauty of sports.'

We, as black people, we have a lot of crooks.

I have voted Democrat my entire life.

I got some cash from agents. I've talked to the NCAA. I think that should be legal. I want some money, too; everybody else is making money. I want to go on dates. I want to go buy myself some new suits. I want to buy myself some new sneakers, and I paid the agents back.

I like Chris Christie. I like Jeb Bush. I like those guys.

People like you as long as you agree with them. But that doesn't bother me.

One of my biggest regrets ever was not taking the time to go to South Africa to meet Nelson Mandela. That is a big regret of mine. I should have figured out a way.

Any professional athlete who gets on TV or radio and says he never played with a gay guy is a stone-freakin' idiot.

If I got a chance to play with another great player, I want to do that. I mean, the objective is to win.

I think it is important for me to speak out on social issues. Sometimes people will agree with me. Sometimes people will disagree with me. I don't take that personally.

You can't sit on the sidelines of life.

Roy Moore was an embarrassment.

I'm no role model.

I'm a mad dog whose only concern is winning.

What I try to do is, I just want the fans to enjoy the game.

It ain't like we're curing cancer or anything, we're watching basketball.

I think you have an obligation to be honest.

One of the worst days of my life was telling Dick Ebersol I was going to TNT.

Look, I'm in the top 20 of players who ever lived.

But when I see a story on welfare on television, they only show black people.

We only put the negative black people on television. We don't put the good, hard-working black people.

Any time you criticize these young guys, they call you a hater. They never ask you if the criticism is fair or not.

No matter the circumstances, teachers show up each day ready to give their students every opportunity possible, and they never give up.

My colleagues and I were always having the same conversation in the teachers lunchroom about books we wanted our students to read, a field trip we knew would really bring a subject matter to life... And most of us would go into our own pockets to buy just paper and pencils.

Public school teachers from every corner of America post classroom project requests on DonorsChoose.org. Requests range from pencils for a poetry writing unit to violins for a school recital to microscope slides for a biology class.

Students can't dream big when classrooms lack books, microscopes, and robotics kits - or even paper, pencils, and paste.

Every day, teachers across the country excite their students with new opportunities and experiences.

DonorsChoose enables teachers not just to go public with learning needs in classrooms but also to unleash their imaginations about the best ideas to help students learn.

People not only want to support public schools, but people warm to this idea of being a philanthropist, even if they might have only have $5 to spare.

Donorschoose.org is the one place where somebody with $10 gets the same level of impact and feedback from the recipients that Bill Gates gets when he's making a million-dollar gift.

The most incredible businesses are started by entrepreneurs who relentlessly pursue their passion, but passion works best with a thoughtful, ambitious-yet-grounded business plan.

Our mission is to help students in need and to democratize philanthropy.

In the sixth grade, I planned to start my own business making custom fishing lures.

Within a single school, teachers often encounter differences in poverty levels, parent involvement, and student readiness.

I saw first-hand that all schools are not created equal, and the students shouldn't have to go without all of the materials that they need for a great education.

I get my share of 'cold' requests via LinkedIn from people who are launching non-profit or for-profit ventures and who request a meeting to get my input or help. I wish I could say yes to all of them, but given limited bandwidth, I say yes to the subset who've written a compelling description of their work and who are underrepresented.

We think there's nothing like sunlight to mobilize and energize citizens to demand change of their elected officials.

If we can show the world that there are students in all sorts of communities who don't have the material they need for a great education, that will be the first major step to doing something about it.

Well, just as in the quality of public schools, there is massive disparity and the compensation given to the public school teachers.

I was lucky enough to go to boarding school for my high school years, and I had all the resources that I possibly could needed - squash courts and every book you ever would have wanted, every art supply.

If you track your organization's creativity by the number of brainstorms on your calendar, you're missing out. It's more important to capture those unplanned sparks of inspiration that so often come when we're cooking dinner, taking a shower, or commuting to work.

An art project, a hands-on science experiment, or a special field trip can transcend textbooks and flash cards. No one knows this better than those teaching students with autism.

To take on the jobs of tomorrow, students must become more than good test takers. They need to become makers who design, sketch, build, and prototype. And their classrooms will need more than a chalkboard and a set of textbooks.

Imagine someone with $10 finding a classroom project that speaks to them personally, seeing where their money is going, and realizing that they don't need to be a millionaire to make a difference.

Students who learn to collaborate and negotiate - on Capitol Hill, in the board room, in everyday life - will outperform peers who have higher test scores.

Learning is a critical part of our mission and organizational culture.

We aren't prescribing anything. We're not claiming to be the experts. We aren't advocating for or against any program. We are going to create a platform that says very explicitly what it is that teachers experience in their classrooms.

I've been a fan of bass fishing for as long as I can remember.

Access to sports is an important part of a well-rounded education, and it takes committed communities and companies like Dick's to make a real difference in kids' lives.
