“Did (unnamed TV analyst) really say something about LeBron and Steph teaming up someday? That will never happen. In fact, they will never be on the same team again. Cool Olympic run for sure. But those two as teammates is over for all eternity.”

Happy birthday James Okajah - Gboko City Chiefs Basketball Klay Thompson.
Extremely young, but he ventures into the game early enough and his indefatigable work ethics has made him soar above his peers.
His shooting ability is second to none and no bad day with the kid. One of the finest shooters the 2023 NBBF Leagues saw and the anticipation is more in the coming as the "Lighter" will seek to light up/out the arena.
More fruitful years.
It's the end of the road for the D'Tigress at the .
Playing against the world's no 1 was a tough nut to crack. The girls didn't go out without a fight; they went down swinging.
The first African team (male inclusive) to advance to the quarter final stage in an Olympics. They deserve a thunderous round of applause.
We are proud of y'all.

FAVOUR IKEDINACHUKWU IBE
Many see Favour Ibe as a gentle giant, but his 7-foot frame is a great asset to boost any team. As minister of air defense for the team, he is known to protect the airspace around the rim. On the other hand, he is capable of offending the opponents with devastating dunks that set the upright shaking to its foundation. A in the making if healthy and nurtured we expect him to be a mainstay in the national setup for years to come.

Ibrahim's role as a combo guard is crucial to the team, as his scoring, playmaking, and defensive skills make him one of the most efficient players on the team. He remains in a class of his own.
