<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Before the Bulls played at Memphis on March 17, Luol Deng ran into the stands during early warmups to greet a couple of complete strangers who were waving their arms while dressed in red and black. When the Bulls? forward returned to the court, a teammate asked if he knew those people and Deng said no. He could just tell they were from Sudan. Deng has no memories of his native country, since his family left Sudan when he was 4. But he?s happy to serve as sort of a combination goodwill ambassador and Sudanese success story for the thousands of immigrants and refugees who, like Deng?s family, escaped the war-torn nation. ?So far, I can?t really think of a game that I?ve been to where there hasn?t been Sudanese or ?Lost Boys,?? Deng said. ?There have been just Africans in general that try to get my attention at games. ?That?s really been great. It?s a great feeling. I always wanted to do something like that. I?m glad they?re supporting me and they?re there.? The term ?Lost Boys? refers to young men who were displaced or orphaned during Sudan?s civil war. Several thousand were brought to the United States and are scattered all over the country. Deng has hosted shopping trips for some of the Chicago-area refugees. Deng said one byproduct of growing up in Sudan, Egypt and England is he and his brothers practically speak their own language when they?re together. ?It?s weird,? he said. ?I think you?ve got to be part of my family to understand. You?ve got to know Arabic, Dinka and English. We kind of just mix it up and flow with it.?</div> Source
