The Basketball Without Borders Asia

Играчите от NBA Ronny Turiaf (L.A. Lakers), Kyle Korver (Utah Jazz), Pat Garrity (Orlando Magic) и Linton Johnson (Phoenix Suns) участват в първия ивент на NBA в Индия като част от програмата Basketball Without Borders Asia. Kyle Korver разказва интересна случка от първите дни на престоя им в Индия:

Have you or any of the players participating in BWB been noticed over there?

Actually a lot of people in Taj Mahal. There was actually a really funny story. We were taking a group photo and all of the sudden this guy comes out and screams, “come back in, come back in!” So we think that this is something really important, that this guy could be like a president or something. He was telling everyone to get back in the photo and it was funny because Ronny [Turiaf] had to keep getting up and down on his knees and it must have been like 150 degrees out. We were all sweating like crazy. After, the came up to us like, “who are you guys?” It turns out this guy just wanted to be in this photo with all these big guys and he ended up getting in a car and following our bus to the hotel where we were eating lunch. He bought out a players list and instead of asking for an autograph, had me print my name and team below it so that he could follow the team.

There are a lot of Americans out here as well, especially at the Taj Mahal so some recognized us.
