When did Ime and Mfon became Igbo names.

Anyway, claiming relationship is allowed.

Ime Udoka and his Boston Celtics team defied the odds on Sunday night when they became the first team in franchise history since 1974 to win a Game 7 on the road, defeating the Miami Heat 100-96 at FTX Arena.

The dramatic victory secured a spot in the NBA Finals for Boston for the first time since 2010, a storybook moment for the franchise that was under .500 at the midway point of the regular season.

Ime is in his first season as head Coach in the NBA and they face Golden State Warriors for the #NBAfinals.

He also was the first Head Coach of African descent to win an NBA Play-Off series earlier in the season

OP why do you have a pic of LaMarcus Aldridge in there??

All these people, Ime is Ibibio and Ibibio is not igbo.

Ime means Patience,
Udofia means fourth son.

We are Ibibio, we share culture and language with just the calabar people of cross rive of the efik extraction.. We barely share culture or traditions wit igbo.
We are neighbors with igbo, but brothers with the Efik.

Lets not always subsume ibibio, efik, oron, annang under igbo, its an insult to us..

Everything you said was correct, until you said you barely share cultures and traditions with Igbos.

Congratulations to him and hope he wins the finals but Stephen Curry's Golden State Warriors is something else...

Nigerians are fund of claiming anything/anybody that is successful outside the shores of the country

Failure is indeed an Orphan...!!

But the guy played for Nigeria na.

Americans even call him a Nigerian.

And you ignored his surname "Udoka"
Was it his sister that gave birth to him?

igbos are problematic. undecided

It is "Udoka" meaning "Peace is the most important thing" not "Udofia"

Anyways assuming you people to be under Igbo is even an insult to the great Igbo race.

Get away.
