Summary

BONUS EPISODE

Korey Harris is currently an assistant basketball coach for the Chinese Basketball Association's Beijing Royal Fighters under their head coach, former NBA All-Star Stephon Marbury.

He came to China in August of 2018 and was hired by Marbury to coach with the Royal Fighters in September of 2019.

Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, Korey has been in quarantine and isolation in his China hotel room since January.

On this episode of the podcast, Korey Harris joins us from China to talk about what the last few months have been like since the Chinese Basketball Association postponed their games in late January. We also hear how Korey has dealt with social distancing, why staying in China instead of returning to America was something he felt led to do and a great word of encouragement for all of us here in America.
