    Windhorst also did a profile on the Sudan team (espn article).


    "It's been a humbling journey. I had heartaches, I have a lot of ebbs and flows, and it's a great feeling right now," said Ivey, a 10-year NBA veteran who mentored Deng when he came to the same high school in New Jersey. "A year ago we were practicing outside with eagles flying around while we were practicing and the courts were flooded. Like to go from there to come and play in front of these fans in the Philippines, and I'm on cloud nine right now."
