Stephenson received his Born Ready nickname from Bobbito Garca, a courtside announcer at Rucker Park, in the summer of 2006 during a game against older players. Stephenson had just played in a youth allstar game as the only rising sophomore out of thetop high school players in the nation, and the adult game that followed was a player short. Garcia said, Id seen him go up against seasoned NBA veterans, seasoned college cats, high school kids two or three years older than he was, and he was always reppin, so I just called it. Hes Born Ready. Stephenson tattooed the nickname on his right biceps, and also allowed a video crew to document his life for an online reality show titled Born Ready.
