Video of Basketball in India by Ryan
When Indian born Vivek Ranadive bought the Sacramento Kings, part of his and the NBA vision was to expand the game of basketball into India- a country of more than 1.3 billion people.
Ranadive, who grew up in the Juhu area of Mumbai was the perfect link for the league to try and reach a country who is more excited about the game of cricket and football (soccer).
However, slowly you see the game of basketball emerging in India. We just happen to run into a group of kids playing the game at a local YMCA in the Colaba district of Mumbai. The kids were quite knowledge of the NBA, and proud to know one of their own was an NBA owner.
