Africa 🌍 is the greatest. Great video
The untapped potential of basketball in Africa is massive
Basketball, cant be the focus! Hopefully, he does big things, for himself, but we have to stop the violence, & we have to allow the entrepreneurship, & businesses to grow, in our country, or else we're always gonna be a joke!
Get this man on the raptors asap
God bless you and stay blessed Khaman
Mark my word South Sudanese are very loyal
Just in case y'all don't know fled means he walked to Uganda from South Sudan. Over 300 miles.

Now you are showing to the world yours potential…. Please don't allow your dreams dying.. May God heal your pain.
Racist & hateful BBC should be banned reporting in the continent of Africa, they are known to report fake & hateful news in the continent of Africa
The fact that he’s 17 and playing against men is amazing
