However, as the birthplace of African blacks, the basketball level here is not very high. Because of the long-term economic backwardness, some gifted children have not received orthodox basketball training since childhood, and our own conditions are backward, so we rarely hear about NBA superstars from Africa.
For example, although he is an American citizen, Olajuwon, who was born in Africa, began to understand basketball only after he forced Jordan to become the No.1 scholar and achieved impressive results in the NBA. Nowadays, there are many faces from Africa in the league, and even many people have become the facade of an NBA team.
However, when it comes to African stars, how can we not mention them? African mountains? Where's Mutombo? Uncle Mu's defense made all the stars in the league tremble, especially his classic moves? Shake your fingers? It has also become a celebration after many people imitate the cover. Uncle Mu is from Congo, Africa. It is said that he plays basketball because his father wants to exercise his vital capacity, because his name is too long (49 letters in all) and he can never finish reading his name. In this way, a generation of stars was born.
After leaving the army, Uncle Mu did not forget the people in his hometown. He built many hospitals at his own expense and became the most admired patron saint of Congo.
Aminu, who now plays for Magic, is no stranger to the fans who often watch the ball. His performance in The Pioneers is impressive, and he is one of the heroes who let the Pioneers enter the Western Union. However, compared with his skills, aminu's life experience obviously interests us more. Aminu's full name is Al-Farouk-aminu, and? Al Farouk? What does it mean in his native language? Has the monarch arrived? It can be seen from his name that his life experience is not simple.
It turns out that aminu is a descendant of the local Nigerian royal family. He can stay at home with peace of mind, become a prince, be worshipped by thousands of people, and live a prosperous life. However, his love for basketball made him leave his hometown and come to America to become a professional basketball player. Aminu didn't pretend to be royalty. He trained and ate with his teammates every day. He didn't have any airs of a prince. This spirit is also worthy of our admiration.
The African player with the same life experience is Bamot from Cameroon. As a 3D sharp knife of the League in previous years, he has gradually faded out of the League due to age and other factors. However, his contribution to basketball, especially African basketball, is considerable. As the child of a local chief in Cameroon, Bamot's position and reputation in the local area can be imagined, even if he is a local chief in Cameroon? Master? A position. But his love for basketball led him to the United States to participate in the draft and left a legend in the NBA.
After returning to his hometown every offseason, Bamot did not forget basketball, but continued to devote himself to promoting basketball in Cameroon and invested his own money? Balmot basketball camp? . This training camp has made many children who have never been exposed to basketball fall in love with basketball, and has also cultivated many top NBA stars, such as Embiid, a famous star of the 76ers, and Siakam, the spokesperson of the Raptors.
Embiid didn't actually touch basketball before 16 years old. At first, he mainly played football, but later, because he was too tall, he changed to volleyball. According to the original plan, Embiid should have been sent to Europe by his father to improve his volleyball skills, but after attending the training camp in Bamot, Embiid fell in love with basketball, so he didn't formally practice basketball until 16 years old. Now he is 15.
Siakam is more exaggerated. Before 18 years old, Sika had never been exposed to basketball. At that time, the Bamot Basketball Camp happened to have a free activity in their hometown. So, for? Cheap? Siakam's family went to participate in this activity.
After a day's activities, Siakam fell in love with basketball deeply, and his talent was also taken by Bamot, so he took him to the United States. Today, Sika has become an Eastern All-Star. Considering that he was a child who knew nothing about basketball seven years ago, this comparison is exaggerated.
