Former Michigan State basketball teammates Draymond Green and Anthony Ianni hosted a postgame panel on the Warriors' Autism Acceptance Night, pushing to make acceptance more than a 'one-day thing.'
"Just to see someone's smile, you know, you see, you know, some of these kids, young adults smile so important you never know what they're going through in a life of. So just to bring some excitement to their lives is always important for me," Green said.
Green and Ianni are planning to hold annual events as they continue to shine a light on awareness and acceptance. "Understanding and doing your part is important," said Green. "So I always try to bring awareness, try to bring people together and any time that you can do that for me is success."The Warriors commitment to Autism awareness has taken form in the building of sensory rooms inside Chase Center providing a safe and quiet space for anyone inside the arena.
It's organizations like this, like the Golden State Warriors, that really is really actually starting, you know, opening the doors for others to follow," said Joshua's Gift CEO Mizpah Brown-Rich. "I think it's an amazing thing because we really need it. "For me just putting smiles on people's faces. As long as you inspire one person everywhere you go, like, you know, then your job is done," said Ianni. "So any time, you know, if I could walk out of Chase Center tonight knowing that I've inspired this one person in this audience, like, you know, my time here in San Francisco is well worth it. And it was definitely successful.
