Yes, in terms of organisation, you couldn’t ask for anything better in Africa. As I said, this is a basketball nation, the fans are very passionate, and I think the organisation is perfect. The arenas are full and the atmosphere is great. The Angolan league has been around for over 30 years and is professional.
