It’s a bold idea, to say the least, but the NBA is going for it as they’ve announced that South Africa will get an exhibition game in the near future that will put the NBA on a global scale for really one of the first times.

It’s a cool thing that the NBA is going to be doing in South Africa, even if it’s not the first time that they’ve put the sport on this kind of a global scale. The bottom line is that the NBA wants to get its appeal up on a global scale and that’s what seems like is going to happen as Adam Silver continues to press for a better league.
