    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Orlando Magic guard and former FIU standout Carlos Arroyo, who was born in Puerto Rico, was in San Juan this week to visit a grade school while taking part in the NBA's global ''Basketball Without Borders'' camp.

    Arroyo helped inaugurate a renovated basketball court with fellow countrymen Jose ''Piculin'' Ortiz, formerly of the Utah Jazz, and Daniel Santiago, who played for the Milwaukee Bucks before moving to Europe.

    The NBA camp started Tuesday for dozens of teens from all over the world. They are learning about HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention while learning the sport from the pros.

    ''The kids have the motivation to learn and to listen,'' Arroyo said. ``We're definitely very pleased with what we have seen.''

    The NBA also is sponsoring the program this summer in South Africa, China and Lithuania.</div>
