Wake up. I SAID WAKE UP!
Team Africa vs. Team World
8:00 am CDT
ESPN
An open thread! For a basketball game!
The first ever NBA Africa game takes place in Johannesburg this morning on ESPN, and features a Team Africa made up of NBA players who are first and second generation African, vs. a World team made up of stars from the rest of the world.
This follows several days of NBA and Basketball Without Borders events, such as basketball camps for kids and other activities.
The African team features, of course, our own Gorgui Dieng, along with other stars like Serge Ibaka and Luol Deng.
