As an NBA player and accomplished artist, Cauley-Stein does some creative work in the paint

Willie Cauley-Stein isn’t just a pro basketball player. He’s also an accomplished artist.

In his first season with the Dallas Mavericks, Cauley-Stein said he has been dabbling in art since for 17 years. So much so that in the summer of 2017 while he was playing for the Sacramento Kings, he traveled to Vietnam – where he took a painting class – and also painted the mountains of Vietnam.

Cauley-Stein even knows how to distinguish fine art from regular art and how it can become an investment.

So, how did the 7-foot, 240-pounder get bit by the art bug?
