I'm not a huge fan of the NBA lumping together the various, diverse countries and ethnic groups that make up the entire continent of Africa into merely "Africa." This genization only reinforces the Western world's black and white perception of African reality, and effectively reduces it into a single, solitary unit.

They're playing a basketball game.

If they are picking players to play for "Team Africa" based on their African lineage then Chris Paul should be on that team since I'm pretty sure he doesn't have Neanderthal DNA unlike the Gasol bros.

for those who are unaware of diaw's vertical:

“Boris walks into the gym one day wearing flip-flops and holding his customary cappuccino, which was a staple for him every morning,” Griffin recalled. “It was during pre-draft workouts, so he sees the Vertec [machine] and asks what it is.

“We tell him it measures your vertical leap by determining how many of the bars you can touch. He asks what’s the highest anyone has ever gone, and we tell him Amare’ [Stoudemire] cleared the entire rack.

“Boris puts down the cappuccino, takes off his flip-flops and clears the entire rack on the first try. Then he calmly puts his flip-flops back on, picks up his cappuccino and walks away, saying, ‘That was not difficult.'”

They should bring Steve Nash in there for Africa to assist somehow.

[BatManu20]

Did this immediately come to mind for anyone else?

[jag]

As part of BWB and NBA Africa Game efforts, NBA Cares, the league’s global social responsibility program, and the NBPA Foundation will host a series of events to leave a lasting legacy in the community.

Not to mention the opposing team is 'The WORLD'. If that's not lumping folks together, I dunno what is.
