“Muggsy did an excellent job relating to all of the kids and ensured each child improved their skills both on and off the court. He was great with the kids throughout his time at Chelsea Piers for the WAT-AAH! Foundation and Drink Up Event. It was such an honor to have him host the event. Muggsy helped communicate our message by emphasizing the importance of drinking water and staying active through physical activity. He spoke about his past experiences and how he overcame obstacles to succeed in the NBA and in life. No matter how long it took, Muggsy made sure each kid completed the drills. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience that the kids will remember for years to come. It achieved more than we could have ever hoped. The parents who were there loved it almost as much as the kids who were doing the drills. He did an excellent job ensuring the kids paid attention and were engaged, from the moment he stepped on the court and greeted all of them. His ambition and desire was truly inspirational. At the end of his time, the kids (and even some of the parents) did not want him to go.”
