While many NBA players spend their offseasons training or relaxing, Achiuwa’s choice to engage with wildlife highlights his unique approach to life. His trip to Zambia wasn’t just about leisure; it also had a significant impact on the local community. Achiuwa hosted a three-day youth basketball camp in Lusaka, the capital of Zambia, marking the first time an NBA player has led such an event in the country. Over 150 children attended the camp, gaining valuable skills and inspiration from the professional athlete.
