Norman Powell Pushes for Jamaica Basketball Reform | Jamaica News
Description
Norman Powell is fighting to change a FIBA rule that blocks Jamaican-born players with heritage from representing the national team unless they secure citizenship before 18 — a policy he calls unfair and a barrier to Jamaica’s basketball potential. Despite missing crucial games due to free agency, Powell remains deeply committed to elevating the program, already collaborating with officials to build a stronger, more competitive squad. Meanwhile, he’s thrilled to have signed a $45M, two-year deal with the Chicago Bulls, eager to mentor young talent and help forge a winning culture in his new city.
