For fans of Lebron `The King` James in Africa who hope to see him play live someday, they might not have to travel thousands of miles before having the opportunity to, as the King has confirmed that he would love to be a part of the exhibition game organised by the NBA in Africa - NBA Africa Games.
Lebron confirmed this while speaking with Oluwafemi Adefeso after the Cleveland Cavaliers` game against Chicago Bulls.
`I would love to...I mean...Obviously, I don`t make the schedule, but I would love to be a part of that. I know we have Basketball Without Borders every single year. In off-season my schedule is ridiculous but I would definitely love to get to Africa at some point. I heard Johannesburg is amazing, South Africa is amazing. So many parts of Africa are amazing. So, hopefully someday`
NBA Vice President and Managing Director for Africa, Amadou Gallo Fall, announced during the 2018 NBA Africa All Star Luncheon that the NBA Africa Game will return to South Africa for the third time this August. Team Africa is expected to again face Team World. Participants in this year`s event will be announced in due time and it will be such a delight to see Lebron`s name on the list.
Chris Paul (Houston Rockets), Dirk Nowitzki (Mavericks), DeMarcus Cousins (New Orleans Pelicans), Kyle Lowry (Raptors) and CJ McCollum (Portland Trail Blazers) are some of the big names that have participated in the NBA Africa Games.
