It’s a bit different for Gorgui Dieng to be on the other side of this.
Sure, he’s going to be entering his third season in the NBA, but when he was 19 years old, he was having Dwight Howard go through drills with him in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Fast-forward six years later, and it’s Dieng who is leading the drills with hopeful basketball players.
Dieng’s basketball career started at Basketball Without Borders and he’s hoping that he can influence a few others like Howard did to Dieng during his time at this year's Basketball Without Borders.
