Skepticus:


There's no fluke there. It's a competitive match though it was an exhibition game and it counted in FIBA rankings. Nigeria defeated them square.

That said, Australia are in the form of their lives while the US (with and without its superstars) have been going down on a low since the 2019 FIBA World Cup. Surprisingly, Nigeria was impressive (for an African team) and earned its Olympic qualification right from there.

What else can u offer if not militancy...
Even without oil, Igbo's talents will still stand them out...
May u and ur generation remain slaves to ur Fulani lords ....

HEAVEN4444:
i hear what you are saying bro but the world was shocked because its a fluke. its the first time in world history an african team has ever defeated the usa. its a fluke. and it will probably not happen again in this olympics. in 2 days time there will be usa vs naija again. watch as they will revenge and avenge. the scores will be like 90 to 50. now they have chris middleton and devin booker and jrue holiday coming to join their squad. jrue holiday is a lockdown defender. our boys will be grounded to a halt

The ridiculous arrogance from Igbos is unnecessary, absurd and divisive. U can hype urselves without trying to run others Down.

Skepticus:


Fluke or no fluke. It's on record and whenever they meet, the record will always be mentioned.

We built our reputation in soccer in that way coming from unknown underdogs given no chance to become a power house (in Olympics). I agree with you about the United States having all the stars but as a player and active follower of basketball, the United States isn't special and is very "BEATABLE". Athens 2004 Olympics and 2006 FIBA world cup exposed them greatly. Since, then other nations lost the fear of them.

e pain u? So at your age, you don't know the difference between west and south, the state in west and the state in the south. Delta State is part of South south. Now you're feeling pain because someone burst your bubble. That your fiance from anambra is just a fictional storyline..

Kiss the Truth..

We're igbos. We Rock

jaxxy:


Unnecessary and divisive hype is childish. Do u know all the white race has done for mankind? If they hype themselves blacks will jump off a cliff.

mapet:


I am tempted to agree with you. The cry of they are mostly igbos becos this team was "chosen on merit" is very deceptive. Can someone provide me answers to the following

1. When was ever the D'Tigres team chosen not on merit?
2. Like we have Kano Pillars, Mike Meteroes etc. Which notable Basketball club exist in SE that has won something consistently in the local league?

This team are all from the States... it has nothing to do with "Igbos" and people's jaundiced interpretation of "merit"
