CHICAGO -- Amadou Gallo Fall knows that when the Basketball Africa League tips off on March 13 in Dakar, Senegal, former NBA commissioner David Stern, who died in January from a brain hemorrhage, will be smiling down on them. As the President of BAL, Fall announced the 12 teams who would be competing in the inaugural season to a crowd of about 100 people inside the Grand Ballroom of the Hyatt Regency hotel during NBA All-Star Weekend in Chicago. It wasn't just a celebration of BAL -- it was the 10-year anniversary of the first NBA office opened in Africa, which was spearheaded by Stern.
During the luncheon, videos were shown celebrating the various milestones that the NBA has made across Africa, with clips of Stern talking about why it was important for the league to open an office on the continent. The international platform that the NBA has is in large part due to Stern's work of expanding the reach of the league, to ensure that the game of basketball could be enjoyed and experienced by as many people as possible, not just those inside the United States.
"He got us here," Fall said. "When I first started, it was David who hired me to head up NBA International. He deserves a tremendous amount of credit for, first of all, going to Africa in 1993, and meeting with President [Nelson] Mandela, and he also went back the following year for President Mandela's inauguration. He shared his passion for the opportunity to use the celebrity of the NBA brand to inspire young people and build communities. I know that wherever he is, he's smiling because we now have a professional league powered by the NBA in partnership with FIBA, something that's never been done before happening in Africa and it's because he believed in the market."
