It may not be a meaningful game in terms of banners and rings, but you have to be excited about Jaylen Brown's performance in this summer's Africa Game.
The event, part of the NBA's "Basketball Without Borders" program, designed to grow the sport around the world, features select NBA players split into two teams - Team Africa, made up of players who were born in Africa or to parents born there, and Team World, made up of players born, well, everywhere else. This year's game, held in Johannesburg, South Africa, was a hard-fought battle, with Victor Oladipo nearly leading team Africa to a surprise win behind a 28-point, nine-rebound, five assist performance.
