Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon "loves the grind," as he puts it. On the court, he's a gritty playmaker; off it, he uses his platform to push for criminal justice reform.

He carries with him the spirit of this grandfather, John Hurst Adams, a civil rights movement leader who studied at Boston University's School of Theology alongside Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
