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.

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.
