For the next couple of weeks this is going to be a @SSBFed stan account! My word!!! The only #African men’s #Basketball team @Olympics beat team @gbbasketball and lost to @TeamUSA basketball team with veterans by 1 point!! Proud doesn’t even come close!! @kongwako thank you!
Hats off to @DtigressNG That was a superb run! #Africa has to be immensely proud! I’m so hopeful and excited for the future of Africa’s sports industry. Hey @AfroBasket
Officiating expert Todd Warnick on South Sudan vs Serbia game:
“I think we’re in double-digits on [referees’] errors in this game. Any time we get over double-digits, it’s problematic.”
@awetthon@LA28@SSBFed Great teams are not just measured by victories, but by their resilience and spirit. This setback is just a setup for a stronger comeback. Keep your heads high and your hearts strong. #TeamSpirit#BounceBack
Aaaaah!Woah what an experience! Boys have done the entire continent proud! This was phenomenal, congratulations to Serbia. Ah and the general consensus is that the refs sucked!! See you in @LA28
A reminder that the South Sudan men's team only played their first basketball match in 2017.
Seven years later, they've won their first match at their first ever Olympic Games 👏🇸🇸
The 'Bright Stars' make history! 🇸🇸
In their first-ever Olympic basketball game, South Sudan men's basketball team defeat Puerto Rico. An amazing accomplishment for the world's youngest nation.
