Luol Deng & Clare Akamanzi: Building the NBA’s Future in Africa
In this powerful episode, former NBA All-Star Luol Deng and Clare Akamanzi, CEO of the Basketball Africa League (BAL), share the untold story of basketball’s rise across the continent 🌍🏀. From South Sudan’s historic journey to the BAL’s mission to empower Africa’s youth, they discuss the challenges, opportunities, and vision for the future of African basketball and business.
They break down what it takes to build infrastructure across 54 nations, why only five arenas in Africa are NBA-ready, and how the BAL is giving over 1 billion people access to professional basketball. Luol Deng calls for stronger business regulations and urges global investors to seize this moment to build Africa’s sports economy.
This conversation goes beyond basketball — it’s about legacy, leadership, and the power of investing in Africa’s future. 🇸🇸🇷🇼
