Through his exceptional talent and accomplishments on the basketball court, including a gold-medal performance at the recent London Olympics, Kobe Bryant has propelled himself into the status of a global icon. And there’s no better example of that than China.

Each player walked away with tips on how to improve their game, along with a pair of the Dream Season IVs.
