00:00I'm Melissa Rowland with Sports Illustrated and we're here with Jill Painter-Lopez.
00:07Now Jill, Spectrum hosted a virtual graduation ceremony that James Worthy was a part of.
00:13What did Big Game James have to say?
00:17Well Melissa, Big Game James, anything he's saying I'm listening and I'm sure the graduating
00:20class of 2020 was as well.
00:22His main message was to go out and be leaders in the community and such a big time and a
00:27big need for that considering the COVID-19 pandemic, which they've had to deal with.
00:32And during that time, while they've been doing their classes virtually and through Zooms
00:37and Google Hangouts, etc.
00:39Then of course we have George Floyd's murder.
00:41We have the protests and that sort of thing.
00:44So students are really trying to figure out how can they help with the community?
00:48How can they help be at peaceful protests or doing things in their own community, helping
00:52clean up businesses that were looted, things like that.
00:55So again, his main message was to be leaders in the community.
00:59We've seen so many people do these virtual graduations.
01:02LeBron James, of course, did his in which Barack Obama spoke.
01:05So just really neat to see Big Game James and all these big stars lend their time and
01:10words of wisdom to the graduating class of 2020.
