Description
Soccer is the most popular sport in Africa — but basketball is growing in popularity. About 60 young men had an opportunity recently to show off their skills to NBA coaches in Johannesburg at a camp called Basketball Without Borders. In attendance was Africa's greatest export to the NBA, Dikembe Mutombo.
Taurai Maduna caught up with him and some of the other camp participants, and he sent us this report.
