2/10/2009 12:00:00 AM

One of Sports International Group's inaugural male clients Ejike Ugboaja will be holding his third annual basketball camp starting August 4th in Nigeria.

Ejike is a hero in his native Nigeria as he was the first African basketball player to be selected in the NBA Draft straight out of his homeland. His story is an inspiration to young basketball players across the continent and his camp has become a popular destination for the most talented young basketball players.

Ejike has made his camp an annual affair. "It is a way for me to give back to my country which has given me so much " Ejike says. "I will do anything I can to help out the young kids."

The camp provides an opportunity for young ball players to play in front of scouts and coaches from America and Europe. Some may work their way into a college scholarship or possibly even follow Ejike's footsteps all the way to the NBA.

As can be seen by last year's All-Star team the future of Nigerian basketball is very bright!
