Interview with James Worthy

Posted Dec 26, 2020
James Worthy never forgot where he came from. As a kid growing up in North Carolina, he participated in the Boys and Girls Club, and began playing basketball so that he could get a scholarship to help his parents with the bills. This spirit of giving has stayed with him. In the middle of the pandemic, Worthy ventured out to distribute goodie bags. (East West Bank)
