shymexx:all this is inconsequential. Victor Moses owes England more than he would EVER owe Nigeria, but who's he playing for? Nigerian-ness indeed. Alampasu is originally Togolese but he's more Nigerian than this Victor dude is. If he's not playing for D'Tigers we wey dey naija(dunno bout y'all in the diaspora) no send 1 Like |

shymexx: Ok.I get your point and I wish him the best. You are right about T-Mac and one can't blame him for his injuries. About putting a list of Mostly PGs,you would agree with me that their traditional role was to control the tempo of the game and make plays but in the past few years,a lotta them have taken over the shooting role from the shooting guards. Besides,apart from Kobe,Wade and Harden no other SG is doing so well in the league |

Alampasu is originally Togolese but he's more Nigerian than this Victor dude is. If he's not playing for D'Tigers we wey dey naija(dunno bout y'all in the diaspora) no send Who told you Victor Moses wouldn't have chosen England over Nigeria if Stuart Pearce hadn't made him a perpetual bench-warmer with the England under21s? I know for a fact that Victor Moses would have played for England over Nigeria, if he were to be convinced that he had a future with the three lions. That's a guy who was born and raised in naija, but came here when he was like 11. You just contradicted your own post by citing Alampasu. He played for Nigeria because Nigeria gave him an opportunity. You might as well go drag Adebayo to come play for Nigeria then. Listen, being Nigerian is a choice, hence why there's room for dual nationality in the Nigerian constitution. People can pick and choose when to be Nigerian and when not to be. However, that doesn't negate their identity. And as long as their identity is within the Nigerian state - you have no right to question their Nigerian-ness. Nigeria is just a nationality! |

shymexx:Leave that dude alone.The Victor guy might even be more Nigerian than he is.I have had the opportunity of meeting the Victor twice in his cousin's house in Pittsburgh,PA.The dude is not far from home.His parent are these typical Yorubas(Africans) that didn't make America go into them.There is every likelihood he might play for the D'tigers if those in charge woo him properly. |

See people making comments here, you'll know that they are better off watching their premier league ... This guy is here to stay!!...and the thing that he has in his favor is the fact that he got drafted by a shitty team with no mega stars except big baby Glen....that would give him the opportunity to gain more experience and compete against the best.... Right now the competition for ROTY is between him and M-Carter....lets see... |

Diasporan: True that. I was suspecting after reading his story and how his dad never supported his basketball career. I can relate to that. The funniest thing about these people who're always quick to judge others is that - when you meet most of them fresh from naij, they can barely speak English and speaking the native language they grew up around is a myth to them. Yet they're always quick to judge and question others whose childhood is more Nigerian than theirs, just because they were not raised in Nigeria. Most times, I just shake my head in disgust. I call them lost souls. 1 Like |

Anyway, you lot need to stop derailing the thread with crap about if he's Nigerian or not. Your identity defines who you're. And since the guy is Yoruba (his identity), and Yoruba is in the Nigerian state. You have no right to question his nationality. Playing for Nigeria or not, is a choice. However, if he doesn't want to play for Nigeria (which I doubt) - that doesn't negate his identity which lies in Nigeria. Nigeria is just a mere nationality. That's all I'm going to say about that fvckery!! Can we focus on the topic? Where are the NBA heads at? 1 Like |

Babzilla: POINT OF CORRECTIONAfter Michael Carter Williams fantastic season debut with the sixers against the Heats, he hasn't been consistent. Oladipo has and is a bigger contender for rookie of the year. |
