I remember back in the day just trying to find out about Auckland city trials was a mission. They preferred closed trials.. We'd have an even better national team if they spotted talent earlier

It’s clear that he is genuinely altruistic. Steven reminds me of that quote ‘when you achieve success and reach the top you should send the elevator down to pick up the others’. His success transcends the basketball court.
