While rising basketball superstar AJ Dybantsa has never shied away from acknowledging his Jamaican heritage, he admitted that the possibility of wearing the black, green, and gold of the Jamaican national basketball team remains a “game-time decision”. Dybantsa was selected first overall by the Washington Wizards in the 2026 NBA Draft and is regarded as one of the sport’s most exciting young prospects. Born in the United States, Dybantsa has Jamaican roots through his mother, Chelsea Dybantsa, who was born in Hanover.
