    Just noticed who started on that Nigerian team and led them in +/- with 11. Not one bit surprised!

    Is Okogie the best Nigerian player of all time?

    I am surprised that Udoka did not suit up personally for that opportunity to kick KD's butt.

    Gabe Vincent, top scorer and Nigerian? Who knew.

    This was 5 years ago and it was an exhibition game. Not taking the W away from team Nigeria but I doubt team US even cared about an exhibition game.

    I get that it's a joke but this post is tantamount to blasphemy

    I'm surprised both teams didn't lose, neither of them have Fred Van Vleet.
