Why four men with Kings ties will cross borders to help youth in basketball

The Kings have long been recognized for their international connections. Four men in the organization will take part in an overseas event this week that showcases youth basketball talent.

The 17th edition of Basketball Without Borders Europe tips off Wednesday in Belgrade, Serbia. The four-day tournament will bring together 63 boys and girls ages 17 and younger from 25 European and Asian countries, according to a release from the NBA.

Kings players Bogdan Bogdanovic and Nemanja Bjelica will serve as coaches. Also participating in the camp will be Kings’ general manager Vlade Divac and assistant GM Peja Stojakovic, both Serbia natives.
