S/o
@Chimezie_Metu
for going out his way to make sure D’Tigers keep going. 🇳🇬
Fun fact: In high school, we played against Chimezie Metu in the CIF final. They were up 28 points in the 3rd quarter but we came back and beat them in double OT.

The fan involved in the Russ ordeal claims he did not say a single obscenity to Russ, yet Patrick Patterson claims horrendous things were said to Russ.

3 years ago, Tim Duncan announced his retirement from the NBA.
He's the only player in league history to start and win a title in three different decades 🏆
It is with great regret that I have just been told I will not be competing in the 100 meters at this Olympic Games. I qualified, but those with the AFN and NOC failed to enter me. I have worked for 4 years to earn this opportunity. For what?
A celebration of Nigerians in and around the sport that we all love. From players to coaches to executives, our success in basketball has come a long way but still has a long way to go. Thank you to everyone who came through to spend time and celebrate with us. 🇳🇬🏀
But when we (men's team) brought this same issue up multiple years in a row you were one of the main ppl that pushed against us and said both the federation and Olympic committee weren't in the wrong. What changed?
Our D'Tigress deserve better!!!
Our athletes and players deserve better. We can't keep treating our own like they don't matter.
No wonder there was little or no media attention around the team. What are we hiding? Media is part of sports we all depend on each other. And even
Praying for the day where the athletes that sacrifice so much for Nigeria and Nigerian citizens in general will get the respect they deserve from the "leaders"
Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal is offering a record-breaking $1.1 BILLION to bring over Mbappé on a one-year deal 😱
Transfer fee to PSG would be $332M and his salary would be $776M
UNREAL. 🤯💰
