Nigeria D’Tigers Emerge First African Team to Defeat USA In BasketballBy Dr. Sunday Adelaja

This is like a fairy tale, Nigerian Men basketball team D’Tigers sensationally caused an upset yesterday in America by beating the American Olympic national team.

This is a sure sign that Nigeria might for the first time be targeting a medal in Tokyo this year. USA disgraced Nigeria in basketball when they beat us for the olympics record of 156 to 73. Today Nigeria got her revenge on the unbeaten American team 90 to 87, the American media are now calling it an upset. By the way the odds going into this game was 16 to 0 against Nigeria. The first time a team from Africa is beating USA in basketball match.

Nigeria is the only African team in basketball at the Olympics this year, the third consecutive times Nigeria is represented in Olympics.

The highest result nigeria ever got was 10th position. Nigeria currently ranks as 22 in the world.

This month the new coach of for Nigeria stunned the team by dropping most of the old and experienced players and picked a new team of 15, to be reduced to 12 before the olympics.

The 15 man list is made up of eight NBA stars headlined by Detroit Piston Centre, Jahlil Okafor who is in line to make his international debut for Nigeria.

Miami Heat’s trio of Gabe Vincent, Chikezie ‘KZ’ Okpala and 2020 NBA draft pick, Precious Achiuwa have also been pencilled down for the last phase of preparation with Utah Jazz’s Miye Oni.

Minnesota Timberwolves’ Josh Okogie and Metu Chimezie of Sacramento Kings will be making a return to the team following their exploits at the 2019 FIBA World Cup in China where the youngsters helped Nigeria secure an Olympics ticket alongside Ike Iroegbu.

Jordan Nwora’s fairytale adventure continues with another chance to be at the Olympics. Nwora whose team, Milwaukee Bucks is heading to the NBA finals is the current and youngest highest point scorer for Nigeria in a competitive game as well as making history alongside his father (Coach) being on the same team.

After missing out of the 2019 World Cup, Spain based Obi Emegano returns with his inclusion, alongside Caleb Agada, Ekpe Udoh and Stanley Okoye who has been a constant feature in the team since 2015.

A member of the 2015 Afrobasket team, Mike Gbinije made the cut with Chima Moneke who has been impressive for the team since making his debut during the 2021 Afrobasket qualifiers.

Brown revealed that the final 12 man list will be named days before their trip to Tokyo.

Nigeria is grouped alongside Australia, Germany and Italy following the conclusion of the Olympics Qualifying Tournament.

If these guys display this level of game in Tokyo then a medal place finish is guaranteed for Nigeria at the olympics.

May Nigeria Succeed
