Bismack Biyombo remembers the best night of sleep of his entire life. The current Hornets center was 19 years old when he visited his home in the Democratic Republic of Congo after his rookie season in the NBA. A couple weeks before making the trip, he decided to put together a basketball camp, enlisting the help of his brothers to gather kids while acquiring shoes and basketballs from a Charlotte equipment manager.
“I was going home to visit my family, but I actually held my first camp for about 25 kids,” Biyombo told The Crossover in late October.
