TOKYO (AP) — Former NBA star Dikembe Mutombo is doing his bit to help basketball continue to grow internationally.
Appointed as the NBA’s global ambassador in 2009, Mutombo is in Japan to conduct basketball clinics with the Basketball Without Borders program.
The four-day camp in Japan is attended by the top 50 young basketball players from 18 Asian countries.
Samuel Dalembert of the Houston Rockets, Vladimir Radmanovic of the Atlanta Hawks, Corey Brewer of the Denver Nuggets and former NBA player Yuta Tabuse of Japan also are taking part in the clinics.
