SCRIPT
Basketball is not the most popular sport in Cuba. Baseball gets top honors there. But some of the NBA’s biggest stars recently traveled to the Caribbean nation, shooting for a little basketball diplomacy.
The US and Cuban governments are moving toward better relations following decades of cold war rivalry. Political divisions remain. In January, Cuba warned the US not to interfere with its Communist government. But as far as sports go, the NBA is helping build a bridge between the US and its southeastern neighbor. The visiting players were given awards by the Cuban government and serenaded by a tune not often heard in Communist-run Cuba, the US national anthem. Cuba, they say, has the potential to be a basketball powerhouse. Cuba has a great history of producing phenomenal athletes.
The US economic embargo and Cuban government restrictions make it difficult for a Cuban player to compete in the NBA. Many of Cuba’s top athletes still defect in order to play in the US. But becoming the best, the visiting players say, is all about overcoming the difficulties. “It helps the young women and the young men to know that anything is possible. And if it happened to me, it can happen to them.”
