• Through new basketball courts, coaching, and youth programs, Masai Ujiri's Giants of Africa is helping young players across the continent develop their skills, build confidence, and discover opportunities both on and off the court.
In 2003, a small basketball camp in Nigeria gave a group of young players something many had never experienced: organized training with experienced coaches.
More than two decades later, that camp has grown into a youth basketball movement reaching communities across Africa.
The organization behind it, Giants of Africa, was founded by Nigerian-born NBA executive Masai Ujiri and former basketball player Godwin Owinje.
Their goal was to give young Africans greater access to basketball and the opportunities that can come with it. (Sportsnet)
