As an assistant coach for 16 NBA seasons now, Charlotte’s Stephen Silas has had the opportunity to work with some of the best in the business. Of all the people he’s crossed paths with in the league though, nobody has had a bigger impact on Stephen’s career than his father, Paul, who put together a lengthy NBA tenure as both a player and coach. Despite the impressive accolades Paul garnered during his time in the league, it’s what he had to personally endure along the way as an African-American that’s made Stephen so proud to be his son today.
