i ve been watchn college basketball nd i am not sure that the nigerian league teams can beat u.s.a college teams not to talk of their main league team(nba)

@ Ameh: Are you a basketballer? There's no University or College in Nigeria that can beat the worst college basketball team in the U.S. Nigeria hasn't come to that level cos there has been no support and well trained athletes.

Gents I think you both are mistaken. There is a ton of basketball talent in Nigeria. A lot if things are on the horizon for Nigeria hoops! If you want to know more, go to www.team17sports.com. We are working on behalf of and with the NBBF to grow Nigerian basketball...and its about to happen! Pass the word to ALL fellow Nigerians!!!

that implies dat we need to really put more effort on the grass root, most especially high skool(secondary skool), college basketball in d the States is where virtually all NBA stars graduated from into NBA stars.\

i know some dudes in my hood dat play some really good basketball with great skills, but lack of sponsors turns dem into mere street champs, its so pathetic.
