National team guard Chen Jianghua is the best local product of street basketball - he was discovered after winning the Nike China Streetball Championships before gaining selection for the national team in 2006 as a 17-year-old with no international experience.

Chen's Guangdong Tigers teammate and NBA prospect Yi Jianlian also cut his teeth on the street before being picked for the Guangdong team.

"They just reminded me of my old time when I was playing on the street with my friends," Pierce said.

"You can use your imagination and make the game beautiful."

Pierce was invited to be special guest at the Nike Power Factory 2 Streetball Training Camp.

The month-long camp attracted more than 20,000 under-22 basketball talents from around China.

But just 30 players from Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Wuhan, Shenyang and Guangzhou made it to the all-star game held in Beijing.
