On Tuesday, Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks visited the Racine Correctional Institution to take part in the “Play for Justice” initiative, which brings together NBA teams and inmates at correctional facilities across the country.

Antetokounmpo was very moved by the experience and says he learned a lot from speaking to the inmates.

“I wasn't seeing guys that made mistakes,” Antetokounmpo said, via Madison.com. “I was just seeing humans, humans that were laughing, that were trying hard, humans that shared their stories. That really touched me and I realized sometimes we take things for granted. That's not going to happen again.

“It’s crazy how many things you take for granted. Obviously, they made mistakes. But at the end of the day, you have to realize they're human.”
