This kind of court is where nearly every African starts playing basketball. Playing outside on brick in the dust, under the sun and without basketball shoes. This doesn’t stop them playing the sport they love instead push them to chase their dreams. Some NBA player have started playing basketball on this kind of court such as Joel Embiil who’s playing for Philadelphia 76ers, Serge Ibaka who’s playing for Raptors etc…
Embiid is from Cameroon and started playing in NBA since 2014
Ibaka is from Congo and started playing in NBA since 2008
These NBA players from Africa is the proof that it doesn’t matter where you start the only thing that matter is where you end up.
