      This is the plan. Make black africans work in the NBA, and take the majority of the profits. Who is in power? The whites. Who is able to compete against sports news and sports leagues in africa? No other black african, because they will be over taken by the whites who came onto their continent to oppress them, use them, and they will outdo any sports league african owned. In the next 50 years, the term "first owned african ___" will be a prevelent term used on our continent. Read between the lines. Africa thinks they need them, but in reality it is reversed. Africa could of made their own league, but they are so lost they think tey need the white man and the chinese to build themselves up. Now they have again, given their rights up as people further for white rule. This is only the beginning.

    Establishment of an NBA franchise in Africa is a ridiculous and bad idea. The real game of basketball in the United States is dying. All you have is bunch of kids shooting threepointerrs, with absolutely no defense. Basketball fans are getting fed-up with kids making millions and are not competing anymore on defense like motombo. Lebran James is the last face and few others who represent good basketball, both offence and defense who are currently playing today. The second reason is America has become bullies of the new world order and their systems are failing, Africans should not behave as if it is business as usual. It is not. Africa should not be put in any position to bail out the enemies of our people, Monopoly capital, who owned and operate the NBA and will use it once more to impose their will on the African people and to exploit us. They will create billionaires, further use that money to control our resources. Same old bulls+++ all over again. Corruption e.t.c. Be vigilant, the struggle continues!

    NBA can try all they want trying to dominate continents however the number reason why basketball will never ever surpass football is because basketball is not for the world. Not everyone in the world is tall to consider playing in the dreams of going pro one day. Football is not a biased sport and an average guy being 5 and a half can easily go pro.

It would be tough for basketball to just come in a territory that football has conquered for over 50 years. Even if they try to get more of the minorities to get involved it still would be difficult as grassroots football is far more popular within the old generation and the old generation would encourage there son’s to become footballers

      It's not about surpassing football. Football is also number 1 in Spain and Italy yet both countries also have their professional basketball league too. So what is the problem? In the USA basketball is not the only sport either. People can like many sports not just one.

      I don't get this either or mentality. Soccer (football) will be the number 1 global sport for generations to come. Also, NBA has grown globally the fastest of any sport in the last 25 - 30 years.
      With more academy and basketball clinics as well as local leagues popping up globally, the NBA is definitely in that second spot.

    LeBron James will be the last unambiguously black African-American face of the NBA. In USA, the NBA is rapidly getting lighter and whiter (nothing wrong with it, just noticing the demographic trends before us. It seems like every third guy in the NBA now is either mixed-race. White Europeans are also in the mix). Over the next decade, there will be increased "Where Are The African-American Athletes?" think pieces. By 2040, the majority of the NBA's black talent (not mixed-race, but BLACK) will very likely come straight from Africa. The continent's population is projected to double over the next 30 years, and the continent has a large youth population and growing middle class. Basketball has the potential to become Africa's second most popular sport (if it's not already there)!
