D’TIGERS Tokyo 2021

[kalani JR]

Kalani, Nigeria has beaten Greece, Lithuania and Croatia in the past. Nigeria has the potential of medaling and beating USA if we recruit the right players and they commit to us. Imagine if we had Igudala,Giannis and Oladipo in our ranks. Stop being a hater like Queen Futcha. USA's grip on Bball is slipping and Nigeria will be there to knock them off their high horse soon.

hello d, how is the weather in fantasy land today?

The hitman knows basketball like he knows football like he knows wrestling.

He lives to confound and amaze.

Mike Brown official.

Reports suggest that he has turned down the job.

Tell us more.

We are already seeing the Mike Brown effect. Jahlil Okafor is committed to play for us at the Olympics. I'm sure others will follow. This is our best chance at a medal in Tokyo.

[Ugbowo]

Like I said on page 1, they’ve been on this for awhile. It’ll start coming out small small.

What reports? Somebody wey don dey on the matter for MONTHS and is NOT getting paid.

Any chance to land Bam Adebayo and Oladipo? WIth those two, we can get a medal.

It looks good on paper but Jahlil Okafor hasn’t fully recovered from years of injuries and layoffs. I’ve said previously that he’s one of the best big men in the world and if he’s even half fit, he’d be on the US roster so for me, the jury is still out. At this point, I think Victor Oladipo and Bam Adebayo will be better additions to D’Tigers than Jahlil Okafor


Cheers.

I’m hearing through the grapevine

1. Alex Nwora to be replaced by Mike Brown
2. Spencer Dinwiddle, Jahlil Okafor, OG Anunoby, Semi Ojaleye and Bam Adebayo have been contacted and some commitments already secured.
3. Camp in San Fran at Warriors arena
4. They are going all out for a medal this time.

You have been right so far. Brown Jahlil and now Spencer are in the bag. Any word on OG, Bam and Ojeleye?

[Bigpokey24]

Dinwiddie to play for Nigeria summer Olympics 2021....tall should update the 2020 to 2021

Done

The competition is still named Tokyo 2020, they aren't changing it.

So what's the NBBF doing to develop grassroot basketball in Nigeria? Is our plan just to recruit foreign born players? I'm not against fielding foreign born players. What I am against is a lazy approach to strengthening our national team if that is the case here. We should be creating programs to develop basketball in schools, ensure all our pro-teams have a developed youth structure/feeder teams, and educate our local coaches. We should combine youth development with scouting foreign born players, not ignore one at the detriment of the other.

olu, YOU ASK...


..."Is our plan just to recruit foreign born players?" I'll give you the painful answer: yes. Just like the NFF before them where they've expanded the dragnet in Europe to corral anyone with a Nigerian connection. It looks like they've borrowed the NFF playbook. Pretty soon, other sports in Nigeria will be doing the same thing. Just like the Nigerian agriculture system where they depend on crops that grow wild in the bush instead of cultivating and nurturing them. The end result is that home-based Nigerians will receive scant attention from the admins in Nigeria. Of course, only a few might be against foreign born players - people are just asking that the admins not abandon local development.

What about Oladipo and Ayton?

WELL...


...how come no one's answered theyemster's legitimate question re: Ayton?
An analysis of his blood would show the following:

1) Nigeria (Ibo) - 50%
2) Jamaica - 50%
3) Bahamas - 0%
And getting him raises the possibility of getting his best friend and fellow Bahamian, Buddy Hield. With the Bahamas, Hield has as much chance as me getting to the Olympics, in other words, zero or very close.

As for coaches, let's not forget 76'ers assistant Ime Udoka who, along with sister Mfon, has already represented Nigeria.

We should 100% be in for him over that scammer from the Nets.

BOTH CAN HELP


It needn't be one or the other.

[TonyTheTigerKiller]

After watching the NBA playoffs thus far, I think Bam Adebayo and OG Anunoby are the players we need to commit the most. Those two would turn the Tigers into instant contenders


Cheers.

[TonyTheTigerKiller]

Forget about it. Adebayo is probably the first name on the US Olympics roster


Cheers.

[bret- hart]

If Bam commits to Naija i will kill goat. NBBF please bring him home.

[wanaj0]

This will be a BIG addition to the team.

Heat’s Bam Adebayo is embracing his name and his Nigerian heritage
