The world talent is too good now. USA can't put build these Frankenstein teams anymore.

Either get all your top players or construct a team with a purpose and balance.

The under 19 USA team is playing France in the Gold Medal game right now

France is up 2 halfway through the 2nd quarter

The giant french kid Wembanyana is clearly the best player on the floor


The run of American arrogance and decadence is clearly coming to an end.

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.
Yoruba parents operate from a spirit of fear that I cant rock with . Igbo parents arent on that as much.

On the verge of losing to France at the under 19 Championships right now


I'd solidly slot the USA at #3 in world basketball behind France and Spain :ehh:

but why do only immigrants have that drive?

Nigerians in Nigeria are content eating inferior Jollof rice, watching shytty movies and re-electing Buhari :francis:
They take the best of the best of our nation.

i now know a few African Americans in Nigeria. I wouldnt compare their drive to the average Black American either. They are head and shoulders above and beyond the average African American. No one travels that far and are average.

I just lived in Nigeria for a year for the first time. The idea that the Nigerians you meet in the US reflects the make up of the average Nigerian is a joke. They dont rrep who they left behind. I ran into way too many idiots back home.

He probably like, that team just Biafra, ain't no Yorubas on that team. He's half like me. I think his mom is Black American.

Yorubas in the NBA, Oladipo, Adebayo

Giannis and his bros is Igbo and Yoruba

Iggy is delta State I think.


Aminu and Lawal are Northerners.

Everyone else is generally Delta state or Igbo aka Biafrans

:ohhh:

Iggy is possibly Urhobo?
