Well, I just said that I couldn't imagine it. It's a bit awkward(to me).

One of those stereotypes.

Besides, I'm not fan of that sport. Grew up hating it. But the name Ginobili sounds kind of familiar.

Was he by any chance a contemporary of Michael Jordan, sir?

Yeah I know, my point is if Nigerian can produce Hakeem OlAjuwon, how many are still in Naija undiscovered? The talent is in Naija

He played one qualifying game and one exhibition game for Nigeria (I watched the exhibition game). He was discovered by a Nigerian coach, the legendary Ganiyu Otenigbagbe, who played for and coached the Nigerian National Team.

It is sad how America lost an exhibition game and the xenophobia jumped out

I just want the Nigerian government and Nigerians to pay more attention to other sports and not football alone. I hardly have anyone to discuss with when it comes to other sports, all they know is football

Does that matter? Is Messi based in Argentina?

Mynd44:
Argentina is ranked 4th in work Basketball since Manu Ginobili and the team took the 2004 Olympic gold from the USA by defeating them in the semi-final

I never knew him prior to the documentary I recently watched though so hubby told me more about him. An average Nigerian is underutilised due to lack of enable opportunities.






Hopefully they'll because an average opportunist Nigeria coaches will preferred being paid by a self acclaimed talented athlete or well connected person to real talented athlete.

Nigerians and Americans have criticised and condemned ESPN's Stephen A. Smith for disrespecting the Nigerian players. Stephen Smith said the following on his show.

Many Africans and Americans felt that he was disrespectful towards the Nigerians players. Some African-Americans point to the fact that Stephen Smith was forced to apologise to Asian-Americans yesterday after he said that baseball pitcher, Shohei Ohtani, who is Japanese, should not be the face of the Major League Baseball because of his Japanese heritage. However, he has refused to apologise to Kwame Brown after making fun of his name and now he is disrespecting the Nigerian team. They say that this shows that he does not respect Africans.

Atlanta 1996 2.0 victory loading with this Obodo Oyinbo Basketball team.

See the gap na.

The future of Nigerian sports is foreign.

Basketball, Football, Boxing, Tennis and Athletics.


The future of Nigeria politics is foreign...M.C. oluomo children are already graduate.

They are your future governor.
If Amaju Pinnick and Sunday Dare like, they should be mounting unnecessary pressure on Rohr to be inviting their less talented home based players.

He began his basketball career in Nigeria, at Muslim Secondary School in Surulere. He was discovered by the legendary Coach Ganiyu Otenigbagbe. He played one African qualifying game for the National Team before going to the US in the early 1980s to attend the University of Houston.

He was very popular in the mid-1980s. He and Ralph Sampson were known as the Twin Towers in the Houston Rockets.

He came back to Nigeria in 1987. Nigeria had just hosted and won the African Junior Basketball Championship (AFJUBA '87) and the basketball federation organised an exhibition game between the junior and senior national teams. The junior team was preparing for the world junior championships, but I can't remember what the senior team was preparing for.

Akeem was in Nigeria at that time and he played for the junior team in the first half and the senior team in the second half. The match took place at the National Stadium, Lagos and was shown on NTA Sports Spectacular.
