Lance Stephenson's nickname may be Born Ready, but the enigmatic guard still needs to prepare his body for the rigors of an NBA season.

In the short film In the Paint, Stephenson returns to his old stomping grounds of Coney Island in Brooklyn to train for a new season.

The new Charlotte Hornets guard also returns to the gym at Lincoln High, where he became a New York City basketball legend.

Stephenson enjoyed a breakout season with the Indiana Pacers last year, leading the league with five triple-doubles. He also often found himself on highlight reels for non-basketball reasons, as Lebron James can attest.
