After watching a group of local youngsters play in a brief game, the 30-year-old guard picked three players and drilled them on moves like the hook shot, the jump shot and the crossover.

When one player struggled to follow Bryant's instructions to accelerate abruptly during the dribble, he comforted him by saying that he also had trouble learning the move.

Bryant, who last visited in Hong Kong in 2007, ended the clinic by tossing signed basketballs and T-shirts into the crowd, then autographing the shoes he wore and also giving them to two fans.

Bryant visited Manila, Singapore and Taipei earlier this week and will now move on to the Shanghai and Chengdu.
