The NBA is evolving more than ever, catching the attention of big screens worldwide. In the latest unfolding scenario, a significant collaboration is set to transpire, featuring a prominent figure from the NBA, the music industry, and global diplomacy. Their collective goal is to provide a substantial platform for the burgeoning African basketball league. Stephen Curry‘s involvement is a given, given his iconic status in the NBA. J. Cole, with his basketball passion evident in his music and his noteworthy 2021 stint (he played in Africa and Canada), naturally fits into the dynamic.

Notably, Barack Obama, whose love for basketball is well-documented—from his competitive high school days to indulging in pickup games during his White House tenure—is also joining the team. Together, they are poised to play pivotal roles in the upcoming documentary, The Story of the Basketball Africa League.

What will Stephen Curry, Obama, and J. Cole’s role be?

While Steph’s inclusion is a no-brainer, the former President has been connected to the basketball endeavors within the continent for some time. He is a strategic partner with the NBA Africa. In the documentary, he will touch base with the significance of sports being a lifeline for Africa. Moreover, he will give insights into his post-presidential involvement in the continent’s development. Additionally, he will shed light on the unique challenges that come with organizing a basketball league across the diverse landscape of 54 countries.

On the flip side, J. Cole will bring a firsthand perspective to the table, having immersed himself in the African league. In 2021, Cole made his mark in the Basketball Africa League, suiting up for the Patriots Basketball Club in Rwanda. Although his on-court appearances were limited, he held his end of obligations by playing at least three of the six scheduled games. Now, he will be called upon to share the profound impact of the life-changing experiences he garnered through his engagement with the league.

Adam Silver will also feature in the documentary

The narrative of global basketball would be incomplete without the inclusion of Adam Silver. With that, the NBA Commissioner is set to play a role in the documentary. Silver will share his ambitious plans for the African League and articulate his visionary perspective on its success. The documentary also promises to delve into the intricate bond between Africa and America; exploring narratives within and beyond the court. While Silver’s role may not be extensive, he can provide insights to contribute to the overarching narrative.
