The coach of the USA basketball team Mike Krzyzewski has denied that his team arrived at the Basketball Arena of the London 2012 Olympics determined to humiliate Nigeria for being loud-mouthed.

The soft-spoken manager told the world media after the game which saw Nigerian Tigers well flogged in a game which ended 156-73. He said what happened to Nigeria could have happened to any other team given the performance his players put up.

He said, “It is wrong for anyone to say that it was a game plan to embarrass Nigeria because of the interest the game generated since the draw was made. The result turned out that way because of the shooting percentage we had on the night. We have never had it so good at shooting and I am sure it is so for many teams across the world. Our shooting was incredible and we are surprised by what we achieved.

“It was just that Nigeria happened to be the team on ground the day we got it so right. If it was another team and we had this kind of shooting performance they could never have come near us. Indeed it was a night of shots on both sides because the Nigerians were scoring highly too.

“The Nigerian team is a winning team. They did not get to the Olympics by a wild card; they battled their way to this place from the Venezuela qualifiers which featured great teams from Europe. Yes, we came determined to win the game because any slip can be dangerous but it was a night that what we have always trained for worked perfectly.”

The match which was highly publicised and followed by the widest audience since the basketball event started at London Olympics set many records. It produced the widest losing margin in Olympic history; and the best scoring percentage ever for Team USA. At the two-points range, they hit 30/37 (scored 30 out of 37 attempts) and an incredible 29/46 in the three-points range.

Anthony Carmelo who led the scoring on both sides with 37 points hit 81 per cent of field goals – 13/16 from the two-points range and 10/13 for three-pointers.

Nigeria basketball team should change it nickname from D'tigers to D'chickens

Whats is actually wrong for them to set out to humiliate us? There's no love lost

humiliate Nigeria for being [size=14pt]loud-mouthed[/size].

The Nigerian players were loud - and they got what they deserved...

Ike Diogu kept taunting the USA bench after every basket he made, and they paid dearly for that..

But the highlight of the game was when Tony Skinn broke James Harden's ankles - that made my day!!

As a matter urgency. The NFA should schedule a friendly soccer match between the Super Eagles and the US National team. So that we can use that opportunity to get our revenge lol Those in support should say "Aye"

You must be dreaming to think that Nigeria will beat the US in a competitive football match. I hope you know that they're ranked higher than Nigeria in football. So, don't think you can walk over them in football like they walk over you in Basketball.

Dey humilate themself, de law of karma will surely catch up wit them becos our yahoo yahoo boies will surely humilate them too, we no de carry last

Whatever! Nigeria just need to dey prepare well for any competition. We are even too big to be humiliated.

As painful and humiliating as the beat-down was, the truth's that D'Tigers faced an opponent that was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better. At least the Nigerian team were mature enough not to complain. My hope is that they wouldve drawn lessons from that.

Lmao! What kinda "There, there you tried your best but you the truth is. . . just weren't good enough to best us but you tried ooh, you really tried" condescending statement was that?

I'd rather he said nothing. . .Abi which one is it could have been any team and we would have still won then right immediately "Oh the Nigerian team is very good. . .they made the olympics and blah blah blah" that's the kinda crap you tell an olodo child just to make them feel better.

Thanks Mr. Coach but No thanks. Lol!!
