my grandparents came from krakov. my parents immigrated to chicago.dden i'm a cadet at west point getting ready to become an officer for the united states army. and since then, have a chance to represent my country with basketball. i mean, i love our country and i think sports is an integral part of the spirit of our country. >> is the american dream still as attainable as it was when you were young? >> you know, i don't think it is. i think there's -- i think we have to do more to help people in the low socioeconomic areas of our country. and today's immigrants have an opportunity to succeed in this culture. and if we don't do a good job of that, especially with education, the gap is going to keep growing. to keep growing. and i see it primarily in education. because the educational opportunities afforded to those people are not -- not nearly as good as the wealthy. >> and the tragedy of that is there's so much untapped talent, not least of which in sport. the kids drifting into gangs, jail, whatever it may be. if they are driven out of our education
