... I like what is going on right now, this game will boost the confidence of our team. I kinda know that there is not much at stake for the US team... However, being able to keep them on a leash so far, speaks volume of us too.. Way to go guys.. cool cool

This is huge. I woke up to watch the final moments of the copa final. I was disappointed it wasnt on tv and then i rubbed my eyes to be sure i wasn't hallucinating. Nigeria leading USA in a men's basketball game and then we won. Kudos to the guys.

Mike Brown is the real deal. So it's been the coaching all along, no disrespect to all former coaches, but I was surprised at what I was seeing. Great game from the guys. Team USA played poorly, but our defending and hustling and technicality was top notch. 21 threes, I hope they stay this hot through the Olympics, but they need to attack the rim more. Some guys were very poor, but I am not counting it much, they played against Team USA so anyone can have a bad day. But that Agada na baller

Absolutely! Agada has already secured his spot on the plane to Tokyo; same for Gabe Vincent, and Achiuwa

Yes oh..
D’Tigers achieved the seemingly impossible: becoming the first African team (men or women) to defeat the U.S.

Nuff respect to D'Tigers for this historical victory. I known it's just an exhibition game but to beat the U.S of A in any format of basketball whether competitive or friendly is no mean feat cool RIP to Lanre Fasesi (Sound Sultan) not just a wonderful artist but a big lover and supporter of Naija basketball cry
