Trey Burke ran in to a pair of basketball legends during Saturday's first-ever NBA exhibition game in Africa. The Utah Jazz point guard played for Team World in Johannesburg, South Africa. And in the second quarter of the game, Burke found himself on the losing ends of battles with two surprise additions to the game: Hakeem Olajuwon and Dikembe Mutombo.
Olajuwon got the block, but Mutombo provided the finger wag.
Later, some confusion on the court led to this.
Burke, however, would earn his redemption. After going just 1-for-7 from the floor as the World team fell behind 77-62 through the first three quarters, Burke found his groove in the fourth, finishing with 11 points and seven assists to help fuel a 101-97 comeback win over Team Africa.
