Why the 7 9 nigerian giant Dont Play for his Country ?
Nigerian government doesn’t want anything to be developed in Nigeria! It’s just enough to eat suya and drink ðŸÂº whatever! Why have ambitions? 😀😀😀
Wow! 8 NBA players in the Nigerian team ðŸ™ÂðŸÂ¾ðŸ™ŒðŸÂ¾
Interesting how White people in the USA never call themselves Europeans but the Africans want to say all people with dark skin are some how Africans.
Oh, one more thing, by now the king is back on the gold medal throne. It's good to be King Durant! Exhibition wins don't guarantee medals, not even bronze
There is always more to the story. It ain't over 'til the games are played fully. After the exhibition win against Team USA many thought Nigeria had finally arrived. The gap has closed but it's still too early. In Tokyo it became too late very early. It was fun to watch the non-NBA style of play, more entertaining than the NBA to me.
I never seen a player from Miami heat that is not balling.
Mike as a Nigerian coach will win coach of all time n going into a record
One thing about Nigeria is that they got guys that can ball all day, I tell u that.
For real, the rest of the world r catching up period…
Sad the team couldn't deliver due to some off-court challenges. The future is really bright for Nigerian basketball. They'll come back stronger. â¤🇳🇬
Such a silly narrative. First of all it’s the US against a single country to team world. Some arrogance to just group the whole world together. Secondly, Nigeria got their ass busted in the olympics. So they win an exhibition, take itttt. Silly.
"Nigerians from Africa playing against Nigerians in America"
Interesting and Historical this game.
Nigerians from Africa playing against Nigerians in America.
Shout out to Mike Brown on wanting to coach the Nigerian team. Much respect
Mike Brown enjoy coaching the best.
GOD bless coach brown
GOD bless Mike
What happen to motumbo
Hope the Nigerian media is doing the same thing as you by introducing the US basketball team to Nigerians via showing images of shootings in Chicago and NYC.
The structures in Nigeria are almost impossible for people to grow, the federal government controls everything
Mike Brown definitely has Nigerian ancestry since he's African American.
what does kidnapping have to do with basketball? Check your narratives ABC
Well…a lot of sports programs in urban public schools have been cut so you will be seeing the further deterioration of U.S. born athletes . Some public schools don't even offer out door recess for the children .
It's the same for music because the schools art and music programs have been cut . Don't get me started on how dismal are the science programs in public schools . It's the reason why the U.S. is falling behind in producing Engineers and Scientists and are resulting to importing them from other countries .
The U.S. people pays a lot in taxes and each year they are getting less and less for their tax money . Shameful for a nation that suppose to be so rich and is giving it citizens overly priced crap services and products . What a rip off . SMH
This a clear proof that NBA champs are not world champs, that's a completely different title that has to proved on a separate tournament.
Could these people talk about African without injecting political instability? Does violence in American inner cities affect the basketball talent there. Such irrelevant rubbish!
Well when is the US mens football (soccer) team catch up, since everyone is catching up to the US in other sports.
From the friendlies and european qualification matches, team Slovenia and Austarlia are the teams to beat in these Olympics
He already had it, got vax'd, now has it again – Anyone else Smell Bull 💩? This is what they call "Crimes Against Humanity"
