Since its inaugural year in 2001, Basketball without Borders has expanded its reach to eight countries and territories on four separate continents and featured more than 120 NBA players, coaches and team personnel from 29 different teams as camp coaches for more than 700 young athletes from nearly 100 different countries and territories. The NBA family and the campers have traveled more than 85 million miles and logged more than 1 million hours of community service participating in Basketball without Borders. In addition, the program has reached countless others through its community relations outreach efforts in each region. As part of Basketball without Borders, five Learn & Play Centers have been opened outside the United States and Canada. Centers are located at Vila Olimpica de Jornalista Ary de Carvalho in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the Escuela Benjamín Zorrilla Distrito Escolar in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the Hui Lei School in Beijing, China and at Ithuteng Trust and at SKY Trust in Johannesburg, South Africa.
