I remember when Mike Brown was appointed head coach of Nigeria’s men’s national team ahead of the Tokyo Olympics.
He led the team through Olympic preparation and the Famous exhibition win over Team USA before Tokyo 2020
After the Olympics, Brown publicly said he wanted to continue with the program and help build Nigerian basketball long term.
But in 2022, Nigerian basketball was disrupted by governance disputes inside the Nigeria Basketball Federation and the Nigerian government temporarily withdrew national teams from international competition. That created uncertainty around the program and disrupted continuity.
Today, he is a NBA champion as the coach of the New York knicks
As the World Cup starts tomorrow, I just wanna take a moment and thank God for allowing me to make it thru 4 more years and being able to watch another World Cup. 🇲🇽🙏🏻
cole palmer stealing the ice cold celebration from morgan rogers, trademarking it, then not making the world cup squad where rogers can show it off is delicious irony to me
