Beyond Basketball

When Stephon heard about some special fourth graders in Brooklyn, he decided to pay them a visit. Ms. Pantuliano's class was assigned to read The Toothpaste Millionaire, a book about a sixth-grade boy who figures out a way to lower the cost of toothpaste. The story reminded them of Stephon and his Starbury shoes.

To encourage the students in their studies, Stephon stops by to listen to their book reports—but he doesn't come empty-handed. Stephon brings a New York Knicks bag filled with books for each student in the class, and each child receives a $250 gift card for a Steve & Barry's shopping spree! "I've got one more surprise," Stephon tells them. "Everybody in your class is going to go to a Knicks game!"
