We are back on the Nia Dup Islands, where we will stay for the next few days. We had an off day, so I went through the island with my video camera getting footage for the tour video. I played a few games with them and showed them how we do it coming from the United States. We had a little free throw contest between us after the games. I made 18 straight on a goal that didn t have nets.
Today is basketball camp day.
In the morning, we did a two-hour basketball clinic with 24 children from Nia Dup. One of the most interesting things about it was that none of the kids had on shoes. When you think about basketball, especially in the United States, kids always think that they have to be in a certain type of basketball shoes to perform. But these kids learned just as much, maybe even more, than kids who show up in Air Jordans. In the afternoon, we did a clinic with the men on the island.
