How come they left out Sudan, DRC and Ghana. Those people have required height.

I'm a basketball fan but as an African, I still don't know why Africa cannot run a good and efficient basketball league and why the NBA needs to come to Africa to run a basketball league.

Its all the result of this lack of unity among Africans. The Europeans have their Euroleague whicj has been up and running and is a respected league. We prefer to stay in one place and beat chest about who is better than the other.

Height is contributing factor. They recruit dwarfs,abi?

That'll be nice

yea,height is a contributing factor,but height is not all. Shorter guys who have practiced hard and have developed their ballhandling and shooting are excellent pointguards(pointguards are the shortest on the team but their position is really important).just like any other sport, anybody can become so great in basketball with hardwork and immense practice.

If a dwarf can hoop why not? Any exec worth his salt will take a dwarf that can drop 25-30 points consistently over a bumbling clumsy 7 footer. You can google Muggsy Bogues, Nate Robinson and Spudd Web ( who even won the slam dunk contest ( Nate won it twice )). This is the one I can think of off the top of my head. Here is a link

Its true my guy. Their league is on another level. Truth is in Nigerian basketball we dont understand the bball fundamentals which is very crucial. Any idiot can dunk the ball or dribble between the legs but it comes down to the basics. Your shooting ability your ability to make plays involve your team mates and shoot veru well

The National Basketball Association and the International Basketball Federation are to launch a professional league in Africa in January 2020.

The Basketball Africa League (BAL) will feature 12 teams from at least six African countries.

Fiba Africa's executive director, Alphonse Bile, said the league will help players compete in the "best possible environment".


Charlotte Hornets' Bismack Biyombo is one of 13 African players in the NBA.


Bile said: "The implementation of this league is vital to our young up-and-coming players in Africa as it gives them something to take aim at."

Fiba secretary general Andreas Zagklis added: "It's a huge joy to see our partnership with the NBA enter unchartered territory as we work together for the first time to maximise the potential of professional basketball in Africa."

Former US president Barack Obama has backed the plans, while NBA legend Michael Jordan, who is now the Charlotte Hornets chairman, was at the launch event in North Carolina.


Former US president Barack Obama tweeted his support for the new league


How will the league work?

The NBA and Fiba will conduct qualification tournaments to identify which teams from several African countries, including Angola, Egypt, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa and Tunisia, can compete in the league.

No more than two teams from the same country will be eligible to play in the league.

The NBA has seen 80 current and former players from Africa or with family links to the continent compete, including Hall of Famers Hakeem Olajuwon from Nigeria and Dikembe Mutombo from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
