The clinic is part of the US Department of State's Sports Envoy Program 'SportsUnited,' which was organized by the US Embassy of Bahrain in cooperation with the General Organization for Youth and Sports, the Bahrain Basketball Association (BBA) and the Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Department.
Williams and Stinson addressed the youngsters after being formally introduced to the admiring Bahraini youths.

Williams, played in the NBA for nine years, first with the Detroit Pistons and later on with the Toronto Raptors, Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks.
