NBA in Africa: Visiting Mandela's house and planning safaris

JOHANNESBURG — Chris Paul keeps waking up in his hotel at 3 a.m. because of jet-lag and is wiped, though it hasn't stopped him getting out and visiting the house where Nelson Mandela lived.

Luol Deng couldn't wait to talk to Pau Gasol about a trip he recommended the Spaniard take to one of South Africa's most beautiful cities.

Gregg Popovich is planning a safari and a tour of the country's wine region. As he said, "If you come all this way, you may as well do something."

Oh yeah, there's also a game to play on Saturday.
