NBA basketball players Danny Green and Terry Rozier took hundreds of Taiwanese basketball fans back to school by showing them how to shoot and dribble at a fan meet and greet session outside the iconic Taipei 101 building in Taiwan's capital on Tuesday.
About 500 basketball fans, including former players from Taiwan's University Basketball Association, singers and celebrities, gathered at the event titled "Puma Hoop."
"Everybody thinks shooting is arm-based, but you got to use your legs, that's where the trick is," said Green, who signed to the Los Angeles Lakers last month after winning his second NBA championship with the Toronto Raptors earlier this year.
