fredoooooo: let's do this the nigeria way , as our president use to say pray for nigeria

prayer(nigeria) vs good preparation and tale ;Dnt (USA)

no matter the result team nigeria for life

Fhemmmy:

Nigerian Team will prepare so well too cos they know they are facing the lions of NBA

fredoooooo:

preparation start years ago , not our usual last minute preparation

Fhemmmy:

Most of the players that are on Nigerian team too are not farmers, they are basketball players for some teams and stuff . . so they might not be NBA players, but they are doing what they know how to do best.
The USA players too were not really playing together on same team till the end of the NBA season late June

Fhemmmy:

You will be surprised and come back to apologize to us for underestimating what we are capable of doing to them

Warrior X: Read the preview here, the guys want to win

Ike Diogu had this to say "We will not be intimidated by those guys," "A lot of us went to school in the U.S. and have played against those guys. We have no reason to feel overwhelmed."

Tony Skinn said

"I mean, listen, man, I've been playing ball for a long time," said Skinn, who was part of George Mason's improbable Final Four run in 2006. "At some point in time, I played against those guys or seen those guys play. A lot of us, obviously we're Nigerians, but we play in the States and I don't think we have that mentality to just come in the game and just, you know, get our (butts) whooped."

aramstoks: have you even watched any of the basketball games....we barely beat tunisia (4 pts difference isnt nothing to write home about), lithuania thrased us. We can't even score freeshots ffs. i just hope we lose honourably haha

Silvawazza: TEAM ALL STARS VS TEAM BABY...
I PITY DEM....

amare: Nigeria stands no chance @ all, can't imagine the outcome of the game. They should just go and have fun on the court. Again stand no chance cos all the all stars are hot right now, I mean USA.

You will soon eat your own words and have your tail tucked between your legs . . .

Rossikk: Reading through this thread just shows how unpatriotic the average Nigerian is. And we wonder why 'our leaders' Here is your team going up against the most difficult team they could possibly face and rather than to wish them luck and hope they give a good account of themselves, it is this garbage we're reading of 'how they 'stanbd no chance'' and will be clobbered etc etc. Shameful, pathetic idio.ts.

Fhemmmy:

There is a huge difference btw being patriotic and facing reality, but for me i just blv in my people that we will give USA beating of their generation today

Rossikk:

Go to hell with that crap. 'Facing reality' means not encouraging and wishing your team the best? You obviously have no brain in that tiny head of yours.

REALITY101: Just pray they lose with a tiny dignity

Bawss1: Does it mean that if we lose to the Americans that D'tigers are out? All I want is for them to come back with a medal.

Fhemmmy:

Leave that alone, we will play them and defeat them . . .We will show USA team how horrible their defense could be

Gudiza:

You're kinda right but I'm quite sure they figure why do we need to defend when we can simply outscore you. What you've got in the Dream team is a collection of ballers with all sorts of scoring titles shared among them. Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Lebron etc Besides, scoring is much more fun.

and,
just when you thought they can not defend, they remind you that they also have all-american defensive top two in persons of lebron and Kobe. Its good to dream but in the words of rapper rick ross ...a life sentence is a life sentence!

Fhemmmy:

I will post the pix back to you when we must have WON

REALITY101:

I am looking forward to it in 2069 my friend

akintun: There might still be hope 4 Nigeria. Tunisia winning Argentina by 14 points after first quarter

abfalkolly: U men of little faith!av u forgotten Atlanta 96 so soon!Nigeria-Brazil!

lepasharon: Why are you guys so negative?
Look on the bright side..the American players are short 8)

Fhemmmy:

Lol . . . and their players only ear sandwiches while ours will eat Fufu and Ogbono, what a nice energy booster, Americans are going down
