Nigeria won't win...because apart from football, we don't have enough talented basketball players.

In Germany there are sports clubs everywhere with basketball sections, and good coaches, for everyone. And that is not as bad as the USA where basketball is popular everywhere from the village to the city.

In Nigeria, outside some big cities, there are zero basketball courts. In the cities with courts...relatively few people play. Our league is limited, and we rely too much on Nigerians born abroad, who in most instances are not the best we have (and the best Nigerians are either playing for the US, or being obstructed by the US from playing for us...see what happened with the women's team now)

This means we don't have what I call a critical mass of talent...from which we can select enough talented players from which our final team would come. Unlike football where everyone, even in some remote village plays...meaning we have far more in terms of talent.

Same argument goes for the other sports we take part in. And this is just part one of a bigger argument why we cannot win.

WhatCanIsay:



The reason is flawed simply because despite not having those basic facilities, the country still have astounding individuals in the sports.

Most Nigerians representating us in basketball were groomed in countries where the basketball culture is high. Some that even started here, are also immersed in the culture in whatever clubs they played for in Nigeria.
