All Rights Reserved. IRIS : Initialement prévue en mars 2020, la saison inaugurale de la BAL s’est finalement déroulée en mai 2021 à Kigali, au Rwanda, dans un format réduit. Quel bilan tirez-vous de cette première saison ? AMADOU GALLO FALL : Nous venons d’écrire un nouveau chapitre dans l’histoire du basketball africain et mondial voire dans l’histoire du sport tout simplement. Nous n’avions pas pu l’organiser en mars 2020 en raison de la pandémie, mais notre conviction de l’importance de cette ligue pour le continent nous a poussés à explorer toutes les solutions possibles. Nous avons convenu de jouer l’ensemble des 26 matches de cette première saison à Kigali, car la ville offrait les conditions sportives et sanitaires que nous recherchions. Nous sommes extrêmement satisfaits d’avoir pu mettre en place un cadre qui nous a permis de préserver la santé de tous afin d’offrir un spectacle de haut niveau.

Spence Neumann: Thanks for having me. Ben Swinburne: I bet you have a lot going on this week. Spence Neumann: Yeah, a lot going on. I feel like, hopefully, I am a leg up because I showed up in person relative to our board member, who just was the voice of God. But, hey, so I think we have, hopefully, before we get going just a video for folks who are maybe a little less familiar with Netflix about what we've been up to and where we're headed. Ben Swinburne: Okay, roll tape. [Video Played] Bruce Springsteen: This is what I pursued as my purpose, because I wanted to hear the whole story. I wanted to know my story, your story, felt like I needed to understand as much of it as I could in order to understand myself. Who was I? Where was I going? Where were we going together as the people? I studied, and I played, and I worked to be a part of that story in this place and in this time.
