Of course, the Congolese did not shy away from harshly criticizing the French team, however, his post would quickly set social networks on fire. Many accused him of racism, to which Biyombo responded after deleting his first tweet: “Come on guys, you can’t be serious. I understand this is sensitive for some but it was nothing but a joke. I have friend and ex teammates that are French and from somewhere in Africa or have both passport! Honestly is was nothing but a joke.. Let’s just stop here.”
It was a very peculiar comment from a player who is not used to being very controversial. At least, Evan Fournier was definitely not offended by Biyombo’s take. “We know, Bis. Don’t worry,” the French guard assured the 30-year-old NBA veteran.

Reflecting on the progress BWB has made in producing NBA-level talent, Ujiri said: “The talent has come a long way. There are many more opportunities now. “You think about the camps – BWB, the FIBA camps, Giants of Africa camps, the SEED [Academy] camps. All these players are doing basketball camps. Al-Farouq Aminu just had one, Pascal Siakam just had one, Luc Mbah a Moute has his, Luol Deng has his. There are so many of them going on [across] the continent… Bismack Biyombo just had his in the Congo, Serge Ibaka – all these guys are coming and giving back.”
On a visit to Goma, capital of Congo’s North Kivu province Saturday, Congolese NBA star Bismack Biyombo tried to bring a smile to the young people back home despite tension there. The 29-year-old Phoenix Suns Center called on the Congolese to unite for the good of their country which has been suffering from armed conflicts for more than 20 years.
“It is good to be with them under this beautiful sun and motivate them because the reality is that I too was once like one of these children…. I believe that they are going to do better than what we are doing to live. They have to do it with our support,” said Biyombo. Biyombo officially handed over a brand-new ground to his fellow countrymen, during the first basketball camp he held in Congo since the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020.
