Timberwolves President Gersson Rosas fights 'tooth and nail' for Basketball Without Borders

NBA free agency is about to get into high gear, but before it does, Timberwolves President Gersson Rosas had one commitment he had to attend.

Sixty-four boys and girls age 17 and under from 18 countries and territories headed to Medellin, Colombia, for the four-day camp, which executives and scouts from around the NBA and FIBA attended.

For Rosas, who is serving as one of the camp’s directors, having a camp in Colombia is a goal he has worked to see come to fruition for a long time.

“It’s one of the highlights of my career,” said Rosas, who moved from Colombia to Houston with his family when he was 3.
