Good evening! We’ve got a fantastic story in the world of basketball—Lance Stephenson! Yes, that's right, the same Lance Stephenson who's just clinched the title of Fourth Man of the Year in the BIG3 league. It's a comeback that’s nothing short of extraordinary!

This talented player first burst onto the scene at Lincoln High School in Brooklyn, a hotbed for basketball stars. He was named Mr. New York Basketball, showcasing not just skill but a vibrant personality. Remember his spotlight moment in the 2009 McDonald's All-American Game? That stage was brighter than Times Square!

Lance moved on to play college basketball for the Cincinnati Bearcats, where he showed relentless drive and a distinctive style that caught everyone's attention. In 2010, the Indiana Pacers picked him in the second round of the NBA Draft, and what a choice it was! His quick drives to the basket and those jaw-dropping no-look passes became must-see TV!

But, his story doesn’t end there! In the BIG3 league—where seasoned pros compete—Lance is making waves. He’s not just playing; he’s making a name for himself with his unpredictable play and entertaining celebrations, earning him the Fourth Man of the Year title. His celebrations are almost as exciting as the game itself!

Lance’s journey is more than just numbers; it’s a story of determination, passion, and a bit of flair. So here’s to Lance Stephenson—the Fourth Man of the Year, a player who continues to thrill and inspire, showing us that the game is still very much alive!

I’m Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening to EPS!
