Jr NBA returns to Vietnam for the 5th yearJr NBA, the US National Basketball Association (NBA)’s global basketball development programme for boys and girls, has returned to Viet Nam for a fifth consecutive year. “The Jr NBA programme promotes healthy lifestyles through sports from an early stage,” FrieslandCampina Vietnam managing director Arnoud van den Berg said. It will culminate with eight boys and eight girls being named the 2018 Jr. NBA Vietnam All-Stars. They will embark on a unique overseas NBA experience together with fellow Jr. NBA All-Stars from Southeast Asia later in the year. Last year’s Jr. NBA All-Stars from Southeast Asia convened in Shanghai, China, and attended the 2017 NBA China Games, a live NBA game featuring the 2017 NBA Champions, the Golden State Warriors, and the Minnesota Timberwolves.
