NBA star Chris (4)
I believe the answer is:
paul
'nba star chris' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for paul that I've seen before include "Dance with different partners" , "- Dombey (Dickens); - Jones, dance" , "Beatle - singer with Peter and Mary" , "Epistle-writing saint" , "The first great Christian missionary" .)
