Message: [QUOTE="CBus13, post: 4004978, member: 2999"] Chiney's interest in the development of basketball globally has been part of her life since she was in college. She did a study abroad program in Nigeria (she has her degree in International Relations) and worked with non-profits around the continent to put on clinics and build basketball courts. She also partnered with NBA Africa to launch "Power Forward" which is a youth engagement initiative that uses basketball as a tool to develop health, leadership, and life skills in Nigeria. It helps basketball in Nigeria if these WNBA players help elevate their results in the Olympics and creates buzz in the country. So, there is an easy case of reason there. Will they have it approved? Who knows. But the country having success in a sport on the world stage would create buzz in said country. [/QUOTE]
