While the first-ever NBA Africa Game was nothing more than an exhibition, it provided basketball fans everywhere something we’ve desperately been missing–basketball!
The game provided so many highlights. From ferocious dunks to Dikembe Mutombo and Hakeem Olajuwon stepping onto the court wearing their own iconic jerseys. In fact, Olajuwon played some solid minutes for Team Africa, finishing with two points and a BLOCK! But we’ll talk about that blocked shot a little later.
The Utah Jazz’s own Trey Burke had the honor of participating in the NBA’s Basketball Without Borders program and playing for Team World in the game itself.
