The former New York City phenom and NBA All-Star is an icon in the country, with three championships as a player in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA), and his own statue, stamp, museum and stage play off the court. Now, for the first time, Stephon is a head coach in the CBA with the Beijing Royal Fighters, one of the top teams in the league. While in Beijing, CloseUp360 captured his connection to China, and how his passion and dedication to the country come through in his coaching.
