ALL HAIL THE NEW KINGS

Sunday the 30th of August will be a date which many won't forget in a hurry, especially the Nigerian national basketball team, D Tigers. On that fateful day a record was set and a jinx was broken. It was the first time that the Nigerian team would defeat Angola which till that moment were known as the powerhouse of African basketball beating the Angolans 74-65
 In Tunis, the hosts of this year's Afrobasket, the two giants took to the court and battled it out and at the blast of the final whistle, D Tigers were crowned the new African kings of basketball proving to all concerned that their victory at the four nation tournament hosted by South Africa was no fluke.
  By this victory, Nigeria has secured its ticket in the basketball event in the Olympics to be hosted in Rio, Brazil.
Well done brothers, you have done us all proud especially those kids who play in basketball courts which myopic people see as 'wasting their time'.
