(CBS) Luol Deng's face is now featured prominently on the Brixton Pound, a complimentary currency to the English pound sterling.
Deng's face is one of four being featured on the pound. Musician David Bowie will also be shown on the currency.
"I am honoured to be featured on the new Brixton Pound notes," Deng said on his website. "I grew up in Brixton as a young teenager playing basketball for the Brixton Topcats which marked the beginning of my career. So it is with great pleasure that I am helping to support the local community that played a vital part in getting where I am today."
