Your statement is implicit because we have always had about 5 lads with Yoruba ancestry in D"tigers. Dropping AlFarouq's name in response to that tribalist especially in the context you used it tends toward an assumption that he is from the North. The guy you responded to was clearly taking a swipe at North for their quota system beliefs.

Sorry, where did I call them a Northerner?

Yeah yeah, they refused call up. Are you aware that US team played with a Nigerian mercenary Bam Adebayo?

Nigeria didn’t play with their best players cool

Hopefully this will spark investment in basketball in this country. There's just way too much talent for the nation to be solely occupied with football.
those guys on Nigerian team grew up & based outside the continent..

them get Nigerian passport abi them no get Nigerian passport? If they were selected on merit why should they not be allowed to play? You think say na Quota system be this?
Bros you misunderstood my post. i'm not saying they should not have been selected or that they don't have Nigeria passport. You can't represent a country without being a citizen first. The meaning of my post is that those guys are Nigerian Americans that's why they are so good to be able to defeat team USA. Because team USA is a very strong basketball team and home based Nigerian basketball team can never beat them, only foreign based Americans with Nigeria background like these team Nigeria can do it.

Doesn't matter, since they're all blacks we can still say Nigeria vs Nigeria

Nicompoop
It matters. Because that's how Mexico beat Nigeria 4:0 last week due to they were using mostly home based Nigerian players. If they have used mainly our home based basketball players do you think they can beat team USA? These guys have the exposure and experience to beat America because they are Americans too playing in America. That's my point but you are interpreting it as another thing.

Thank you for clarifying but anything is possible in the world of sports though.

So Bam, Tatum, Lilliard, Beal and Durant that started the game are called moons? Even Booker dey bench.

Learn how to appreciate your own. We won this game even trailing by 9 points. Even shooting 20 3s is very impressive for an international game.

This is a lie. It was only two players that refused call ups and that was an injured LeBron and Curry that needed the summer to recover.

the Americans played that game with intense seriousness, the USA will consider it as an injury to their pride and reputation to loose to an African country.

Is it that the Americans allow them to win, because I have always been under the impression that basketball is for USA. Still can believe it.
And there is something I noticed too, the coach was allowed to choose the best not based on or normal quota system.
