What happened to OG Annunoby? He was supposed to make the teamtruetalk wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 3:18 amWas really impressed with him. Honestly I didn't expect much as I thought a kid raised who was raised in Canada and chose to go to College in Canada would have a low ceiling. Plus he is playing in Israel and not mainland Europe, but the kid shut me up and played superbly. The backcourt was great, and the Ike Ireogbu was OK with limited minutes and a lot of help.
We can't sneak up on any team now, but I still expect us to go far.

Yeah, OG could easily be the best player on the team, but there are a few options in that position (Jordan Nwora, Stan Okoye, Chima Moneke). Maybe he opted out, or the coach did not guarantee a final spot. You just never know for sure.bret- hart wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 3:43 amWhat happened to OG Annunoby?

The U.S. Men's basketball team started its Olympic exhibition slate on Saturday, and it didn't go well. In one of the most stunning international upsets in history, Nigeria defeated Team USA 90-87 in Las Vegas. This was Team USA's first ever loss to an African nation. Team USA is now 54-3 in exhibition games since 1992.
I was celebrating the win, not sure why I'm who you first thought of.bret- hart wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 3:41 am Where is B1tch Futcha and Gaylani??? I told yall its only a matter of time we start smacking the USA in basketball

‘Incredible’: Team USA shocked in ‘one of the great upsets’ in basketball history

Well, no-one saw that coming.
Team USA has been stunned 90-87 by Nigeria in what has been described as “one of the great upsets in international basketball history”.
It is the U.S. men’s basketball team’s first-ever defeat to an African nation.
Nigeria took full advantage from beyond the arc to make 20 3-pointers while also posting points through transition buckets.
It came nine years after Nigeria lost by 83 points to the U.S. at the 2012 Olympics.

The players in the SE are not junk. Almost no difference from the bulk of D'Tigers. I think Josh Okogie is the only NBA starter on the team and his team (T'Wolves) sucks. We have players from China and Israel on that team.Bigpokey24 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 11:04 am This exposes the difference between the junk ways trash UK CE players are being forced on the SE, just look at how we recruited world class NBA players and US CE naijas to make our national team with a very top quality black coach. Kudos to D-tigers and massive shame to all the jokers forcing trash championship junks on the SE.

2. If Nigeria was a well run country we would have been collecting olympic medals in basketball for decades.
3. This is very exciting! Hopefully they build on this to become a dominant force for a long time!

I don tire! It was adopted back in the day when nobody cared, but it is embarrassing.
Tigers are not even native to any part of the African continent.
Almost all of those names have meanings that indicate connections to the host cities, former host cities, or the business of the founders.Damunk wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 12:28 pmIs it?truetalk wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 11:43 amScipio Africanus wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 11:11 am Congratulations to D'Tigers!!!

I’ve heard far worse names in the world of basketball, not least the NBA.
A name is what you make of it.
You just get used to it.
Like you get used to funny-funny names like:
New Orleans Pelicans
Memphis Grizzlies
Utah Jazz
Denver Nuggets
Detroit Pistons
Los Angeles Clippers
‘Stupid’ names to the virgin basketball ear.
Yeah, I know there must be historical connections in most cases.truetalk wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 12:37 pmAlmost all of those names have meanings that indicate connections to the host cities, former host cities, or the business of the founders.Damunk wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 12:28 pmIs it?truetalk wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 11:43 amScipio Africanus wrote: ↑Sun Jul 11, 2021 11:11 am Congratulations to D'Tigers!!!

Pistons relate to Motor City or Motown - Detroit
I believe the Jazz started out in New Orleans, and the Grizzlies started out in Vancouver, just as the Lakers started out in Minneapolis which has many lakes.
The others will have some connection story as well.
