Myles Jones-Jim Brown major inspirations of the Africa Lacrosse culture.
Jim Brown inducted in the both US Lacrosse Hall of Fame and the NFL Hall of Fame is a fore shadow of immense sporting talent that is in the people of African origin participating and competing in games like lacrosse a story that has remained unlikely until the recent past.

Until 2014 lacrosse the game that is believed to have been played by native Americans over 100 years had it's first world championship competitors from Uganda representing Africa a fusion of which that had limited models and predetermining the outcome of their presence at the event.

Today 100's of such story's like Hall of Fame's Jim Brown and new MLL's lacrosse sensation Myles Jones are possible in the mainland Africa,a good case Ochan Reagan who almost sinked U19 Kenya national lacrosse team single handedly with 4 goals of the 9-2 final score.
For a sport looking for Olympics consideration,such African talent getting scholarship opportunities to study in America and Europe where facilities and opportunity is more clear could even motivate more talent like Brown and Myles have come this far so far and bring even more possibilities for the game of lacrosse than ever imagined.

Ken Kasule played for Ashkelon Lacrosse Club and was Man-Of-The-Match in one of the games and his team played in the final game of the play off's along with fellow Ugandan Jaffari Makanda Ibrahim.
More such players like Oriana Patrick seem ready for bigger challengers in bigger leagues to continue the legacy of Jim Brown in it's realest aspect and also increase chances of possibility of growth of 1000's more such dedicated talent in years to come.
