Prolific Sports Chief Executive Officer Kenny Andam was excited with West’ return to the country where the 35 year old will hold training sessions with young players. On his part, West said he was looking forward to another wonderful stay in Ghana
A former All-Star, David West spent 12 seasons in the NBA playing for the then New Orleans Hornets now Pelicans and Indiana Pacers before signing for the Spurs. He went on to average seven points and four rebounds in his first go around for Greg Popovich side.
