Lol
She is definitely going to wallop Nigeria. Their best players are Diana Taurasi and Elena Delle Donne but my sister will always be the best in my ranking.
HAPPY SUNDAY.
She was in Nigeria last month and trust government officials to start fawning over her.

Which is why that Trump ban on immigration is bad long term.
It could affect our future supply of NBA talents.

You are really a Basketball afficionado. Keep up the good works. For the NBA all star game tonight,which team are you rooting for, team Lebron James or team Giannis Adetokunbo?

We qualified because we had already defeated Mozambique and the USA defeated Mozambique again. We have one loss and one victory, while Mozambique has two losses.


Nigeria Beats Mozambique 85-51 In Women's Basketball Olympics Qualifier.

We also defeated Mozambique by a higher points difference than the difference between Serbia and us, therefore we are higher on the table.

P.s. The US has already qualified as World Cup winners and they are only playing this tournament just to fulfil their obligations. There are two tickets up for grabs and only Nigeria, Serbia or Mozambique can grab them.

This is the table below.

Chiney is more of a journalist at the moment. She was Kwese TV's "Africans in the NBA" correspondent when the channel was still functioning. She tracked Nigerians in the NBA and reported on events like the NBA Africa Game. (I watched her on Kwese-DBN until the station collapsed).

Kwese TV collapsed last year and Chiney signed a deal to become a full-time analyst with ESPN.

Nigeria is ahead of Serbia but after the 3rd game of both where Serbia demolishes Mozambique & Nigeria loses to US, Serbia would close their -13 deficit with a fine beating of Mozambique to gap Nigeria. Either way Serbia & Nigeria qualifies.

Losing to the US by just 5 is incredible. And for them to have been leading as well shows their lack of fear.
They are worth being proud of. I hope they know there are people in Naija that are following them from a distance.
