Chris Matthews is grateful for his unconventional basketball journey. It’s saw him play with Kevin Durant while Durant was a budding high school star in the Washington, D.C. area and later took him to countries such as Mexico, China and Russia where he played professionally. Today, Matthews is among the most highly sought-after private skills coaches in the NBA and WNBA, with clientele that has included Dwight Howard, Anthony Davis Candace Parker and Skylar Diggins-Smith.
