National Basketball Association (NBA) great Jason Williams reckons that the sport will grow in India when players have access to better infrastructure and urged NBA to develop more courts. Former Sacramento Kings star Williams, 43, was speaking on the sidelines of the inauguration of India's first floating basketball court near the Bandra-Worli Sea Link yesterday.
"India needs to invest in creating proper infrastructure first. I have been here for two days and have come across only two basketball courts. And one of them is this floating court. In America, there is a court in every corner so kids can play at all times. Maybe, NBA can invest in developing the infrastructure here and that will help promote the game," said the 2006 NBA championship winner with Miami Heat.
