Biafrans got those elite genetics.
I could have been a pro athlete had I focused on athletics instead of the books.

Igbo Amaka…
Its not that. Igbo parents are more open to their kids being something other than atypical “lawyer, doctor, engineer.” My parents as Yorubas were deemed “different” for allowing me to pursue athletics the way I did. Has zero to do with genetics. I find igbos are just more open than other groups. Theres a young girl I saw come up through college as an artist and just opened an exhibit in NYC. Her parents were so supportive. Yoruba parents would have torn her down trying to pursue an art degree

Draymond was really good defensively today. He was one of the few giving Nigerian players issues. They just kept attacking Durant, Beal, and especially Lillard off the dribble drive. The US refusal to use the zone was strange as well.



Durant played great defense also

Him and green were locked in. shyt even lavine played decent defense.

Lillard a d Beal never get called out for they're defense due to their offensive game's but both of them are below average defenders

Oladipo said something similar. His dad hated him playing sports so much he never went to any of his games. His mom who's Igbo was at every game. It wasn't till his last year at Indiana, his father finally attended a game.
