Baron tips Rwandans to play in NBA

NBA star Davis Baron believes Rwandans can also play in the NBA, the world’s most popular and lucrative basketball league. The Los Angeles Clippers star made the remarks after watching a couple of league games over the weekend. “This is a good experience for me. I am happy to be in Rwanda because it is a great country and I think the level of basketball is promising.” “With good training and hard work, Rwandans can break through and play in the NBA,” the 31-year-old told Times Sport. He promised to be a go between for Rwandan basketball and the NBA. Before his departure later today, Boron will conduct a training session with the national side’s U-18 team at Amahoro Indoor Stadium. Davis became a star at Crossroads School and UCLA. In 1999, he was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets as the third pick. On July 1, 2008 Davis verbally agreed to a 5-year, $65 million dollar deal to play for the Los Angeles Clippers, and officially signed with the Clippers on July 10, 2008. On November 20 at a home game against the Denver Nuggets, Baron reached and surpassed the 5,000 assist mark. Ends
