Cameroonian broadcasts his NBA dream on social media

A basketball player from Cameroon, Nkwain Kennedy,  uses social media to display his skills and demonstrate his desire to compete in the premier National Basketball Association (NBA) tournament.

In videos that he posts to his millions of followers on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook, Kennedy captures his intense training sessions in the humble settings of his village in Bamenda.

The region is gripped by conflict between English-speaking secessionists and the mainly French-speaking government.

But Kennedy appears unperturbed as he practises his drills on clay courts or works out using makeshift weights.

He is hoping to eventually land a chance at the NBA where fellow Cameroonian Joel Embiid plays.
