As part of Basketball Without Borders, Denver Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried is currently Johannesburg, South Africa. He will play for Team World in the first-even NBA Africa Game at Ellis Park Arena on August 1 at 7am MST.
Q: What has it been like since you arrived.
A: It was just amazing for me when I first got here. Just to touch ground on somewhere that is part of me because my father’s family is African is a huge part of this whole experience... Come to find out, I’m half-African.
Q: What was your initial reaction when were invited to represent Team World?
