"We still love this game" - Basketball in South Africa

09/18/20 • 46 min

In episode 2 of Falling in Sport podcast we continue to explore what we love about sport – this time with basketball as the object of our affection. Mzamo Moloi speaks to author and journalist Cyrus Rogers about Basketball Culture in Africa and how sport helps us to create a vision. We also chat with 3-one-3 South Africa champion Siphesihle Maseko and baller Natalie Pike about what it takes to play basketball and how to choose an NBA team. All this and more, including a “conspiracy theory” on why basketball in South Africa has struggled to kick on.
Let's fall in sport.
