NBA players often feel an obligation to give back to their community, since they often feel fortunate to have made it on an elite level. Therefore, many athletes host basketball camps that provide an opportunity for younger basketball players to improve their skills and perhaps pave a way towards higher levels of basketball. Denver Nuggets guard Will Barton makes his camps a big priority.
According to Nuggets.com, Barton uses his camp as more than just a basketball experience.
“With all the violence that’s going on, it gives the kids something positive and a positive environment to be themselves and compete,” Barton said.
