| See Carmelo Anthony , Lebron James and Kobe Bryant laughing at us ...lol |
Team USA used our Nigerian team to make Olympics history. They set Olympics record for most points scored in a game. It was also the biggest margin of victory for a USA team with 83 points. And lastly, it was the most threes made (29) in US Olympics history. Up Naija! lol.
But our boys tried sha! There's no shame in being beat by the best, so big kudos to them. If you watched it, what did you think of the game?

too bad, shame all the way..too bad
No shame in being "beaten" by...
No surprises there
i don't blame them see d ugly lebron laughing at us hiss
I join kobe et al in the laughter. Lol. Truth be told, Nigeria cannot expect to compete with the best with their shambolic preparations for the olympics every goddamn year. Doing the same thing time & again yet expecting different results...Isn't that insanity?
*BackToMyFrankOceanPlaylist*
I was embarrased mehn, big time!, won't be showing up in d US anytime soon Lol!
Hahaha! No comment Linda you have said it all. #shame#
No way we cud win but those boys stop playing in 2nd quarter all they needed to do was to hustle d 3 points shooting
i do not think any Nigerian expected the Americans to lose. It was an opportunity to play with the best. But my problem is the "gheneins" on twitter bashing Nigerians lol. hilarious shit.
I watched it, and they utterly decimated us, and laughed while they did it. But what else do you expect when kobe bryant and Lebron james are on the same team. Then there was carmelo anthony. Stood no chance what so ever
make them come back joooor
@Linda i like the sms thing ooooo

The Nigerian team Dtigers were tamed to dogs,the only way we would have is if Nepa took light,it was as if the US team used juju. Anyway dey tried their best.~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310.
it was pretty sad. i was in the bar with some of my friends (Americans) i didn't utter a word the whole game. we played the best team in the world but the difference was too much
I was at a bar with some friends from work (Americans). unfortunately the game was on so we decided to watch it.i didnt utter a word just ate my chicken wings and drank my beer lol. see how they were all laughing. team Nigeria tried they played the best team in the world.
Linda why don't u always read through ur write ups before posting them ur gbagun is becoming too much lately #justsaying
playing a loss to america is notin to be surprised about ....basketball is not our tin though! They can't play a win to Nigeria in football ..so let's ex it!
see their horrible faces,idiots!they are having a good laugh...
They took the loss like true champions so big kudos to D'Tigers.
"We didn't play LeBron [James] and Kobe [Bryant] in the second half, and with Carmelo shooting like that, we benched him," Krzyzewski said. "We didn't take any fast breaks in the fourth quarter, and we played all zone. You have to take a shot every 24 seconds, and the shots we took happened to be hit. LOL!!!
The superstars kept coming in waves upon waves on Nigeria, whose players became more spectators than participants in the devastating defeat. The United States had 49 points after a quarter, 78 at halftime, and Nigeria let itself become innocent bystanders.

Let them laugh. Ha ha. To my Naija team, you did your best given that you have a government that does not want to invest in its youth and therefore its future.

Can they defeat USA? Dats surely a lie.... Get ur phones and laptops solutions @ http://www.infotechtutorials.com.ng
haha! I laugh in Yoruba! Come see 3-pointers, alley oops, slam dunks all over the place. I felt bad for my Naija players, but how do you make Naija play team USA na? It's no fair jo. haha.
If you watch the highlights, check it out at the NBC link below. Abeg, skip to time 2:37 of the highlight to see one badass alley oops.
http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/basketball/highlights-record-setting-night-for-usa.html
Naija team try sha. Up Naija!
I watched them smoke these boys and cos I live in America, I was rooting for my Yankee boys but was just impressed that the Nigerian team were even able to qualify and play these NBA beasts.
Ps...didn't even realize that we played bball.
The Nigerian team were clumsy as hell, falling all over the place like "agric" chickens.
Hope they were not selected on "man know man" basis or by Linda Ikeji based on good looks alone.
We all know the result b4 d match so no big deal
Comedy tinz...
Hisses@linda,can u even play tennis not to ask u if u play Bball*tongue out*
making jokes abt d team makes me wonder if u r a nigerian.plus B-ball is not our thing
Chai!! see how lebron and kobe just dey smile.
They really tried...Its dier first time,,am sure by d next olympics they will come out with experience gained naw
Poor marking,poor 3 point shooters, giving the ball away too easily,poor ball handle,I mean come on.D Tigers made school boy errors, they didn't look professional to me.
Yes they tried considering d fact dat US NBA teams are the best but I was really annoyed as the three agbayas(camelo anthony,kobe bryant and lebron james) were laughing @ us.Linda pls Taye Taylor(Taiwo Okunnuga) will be showcasing her clothes 2day @ the african fashion week by 4pm,pls pay attention to her and post the pix. Its her first time showcasing. Thanx
-Lady b
up Nigeria! At least you helped USA make Olympic history. :D
MUST READ: http://efemenaoreoluwa.blogspot.ca/2012/08/how-ese-got-his-groove-back-must-read.html
I watched the game last night and my take on it is our government need to do more for our athletes to be more. Thumbs up to the Nigerian basketball team for good effort. Those American guys get the best training, exposure, health checks, pay cheques and any other kind of support one can think of. Folks like Kobe Byrant, Lebron James, live and breath basket ball. I strongly believe we can be like them and get better than them with the right support. When I look at London 2012, the thought in my head is "Why can't we have Nigerian athletes rubbing shoulders with the likes of China, USA and Jamaica?"...Hopefully someday!
http://www.healthandfitnessvault.net/
I got so emotional I had to stop watching....oh well we tried....TeamUSA are just big fat bullies #nowthisispersonal
Its not dia fault, no be Naija train some of dem fore fathers?
National disgrace, hope they come back immediately and we learn the need for early preparations and adequate training. Nigerians, good people
No Vaseline.
OMG, no doubt d boys av met d men, and dey av no choice dan to show respect, why are nigerians low spirited wen it coms to facin a big opponent, dey tend to loose hope jst sayin frm experience althogh i dint watch d match. Also i still ccommend deir courage, make they sha bring gold com home, if not na DANA airline we go use carry them come back. LOl.
-Uzzy.
I saw the game. I think the naijah boiz had what it takes to play a better game than what they played..even the commentators said it ...though, they might not have been able to defeat the USA team sha! The USA guys won by making 3 points shots, something our boiz could not do!
It is not funny linda! And stop making a mockery of the nigerian basketball team! They played with the best, so wat do u expect? Too bad u find it hilarious*hiss*.this is the first time we are playing basketball at the olympics!
Thumbs up to the d'tigers
So many things in the mind of our players: Boko Haram, Shambolic roads, Power holding, Badluck administration, problem in health sectors, nepotism in all ramification.
The main problem came from PHCN for their 24hrs uninterupted power supply which we are not used to, those guys became panicking just bcos of that bcos we have used to fluctuating light.
Those guys tried jare! e no easy to attain some level in life but it is easy to do so in Naija with nepotism
Eya, once beaten twice shy. Nigeria is very good at the game of football. Am not surprised. Anyqways, well done and start coming home.
ode oshi's!!! y are they laughin??? mumu burukus!!! Naija for life mehn!!!
linda wat are u saying na.dey still have 2more games to play and if dey win any 1 dey will qualify.pls dis is not football.
http://raphalifeservices.webs.com
One word...*Torture* :'(
Linda u dnt wanna kw how,anyways it was so humiliating,they used us to train and also made history
Chaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii na wa º°˚
=))˚°◦hahahaha .
_\\_ heeeeeeeee
That was a senior boy beating. Looking at the game, our boys were more like spectators even offering to clean Lebron's yansh and Kobe's shoes...
We are not out of the competition o! This is just group stages. If we win one more game we will go through to the Quarter Finals.
I honestly knew they would beat 9ja,but I nvr thought we would get up to 73 points,we did try,they r all NBA players,thank God Norwitzski wasn't there. They tried honestly.
We were beaten by the best,...this is a huge learning curve we just negotiated...things r going to different next time out, checkout my blog at www.clementokundaye.blogspot.com for tips,advise and news on everything finance.
They tried honestly,the made 73 shots,I'm indeed impressed. We will get there,Basketball is a very complicated game,every min of the game can win you a gold medal. But they played with NBA team na,they tried. Thank God norwitzski wasn't there ooooo. E for bad well well.
Y the no go laugh? Me am laughing too. So they wan win USA before? They are dreaming.If they want Nigeria to win gold they should pls introduce corruption, bad roads and unemployment as olympic games LOL
I honestly knew they would beat 9ja,but I nvr thought we would get up to 73 points,we did try,they r all NBA players,thank God Norwitzski wasn't there. They tried honestly.
They should laff oh!
Nigerians are alwais very funny.
Our bois tried! Playing with the GODs of BBALL. That's some real shit there. Kudos
I was sad wen I watchin it
We NEVER stood a chance against the Americans in that game last night...I mean, these guys eat and drink basketball, there was nothing we would have done about it, and as you said, there is nothing wrong in being beaten by the BEST...We played against the American All Stars, FFs!! what do you expect? Kudos to the Nigerian basketball team, they tried...
I couldn't watch again after the 1st half, the USA boys were rudely laughing at our boys. If our boys had a quarter of their priviledges, the world won't even acknowledge lebron,kobe ,carmelo and all those in team usa
Linda go bk to pry sch. Which 1 b *being beat* abeg no de fall prs hand. Ur diction is poor. International woman like u
It was soooo painful for me watching the US team roast us yesternight. Our guys just refused to fight them. We lost the first five shots that we made, while they made their five five points, all threes. And the score immediately stood at 15-0. Taken that we would have lost the match anyway...but I expected a good fight from D'Tigers.
When I couldnt take it anymore, I went to sleep when the US team made 100 points during the third quarter.
egbami oh, but them try sha, congrats atleast them break record, lol www.tatafonaija.blogspot.com
I can imagine how funny and easy it was for them. I am glad we could even make that much point. They should even be ashamed cos this is our first outing like this. I expected more points from USA since they are regarded as the best. We will meet them in 4 yrs. Ndi ara,lol
Thy have knocked off o. They still have a chance assuming they win their next 2 matches. we cant even begin to compare the two teams abeg. We put up a good fight!
in my opinion, they tried their best and I believe they would do better next time. Those Americans are no joke. I am a basketballer myself and I think the Nigerians will get there.
See lebrons ugly arrogant face,why didn't they wait till they were in their locker or something before laughing. Punks! See Kobe that is laughing,person wey his take do ten ten,plus tahtidiot Carmelo that is not sure whether he is an actor alongside a sportsman. Hisss I hate when people are mocked public hits not fair. See as dem dey laugh our boys,chei!
If dem Born TeamUSA BBall team well make dem enter Match.com..We'll show them our Talent...Lolz..
Firstly all d naija playas were born in yankee and i think they did very well considering they were start struck, i mean if u were competing against beyonce wont u b nervous and make stupid mistakes u wont normally make...
It was obvious USA were going to win even before the Olympic games started but what annoys me is the fact they were laughing during the game. I don't believe countries should be allowed to use professionals in the Olympic games because it is an unfair advantage as we should all be on a level playing field.
Linda SHUT UP
that was a happy slapping session. doubt the US team even broke out one bead of sweat. we are coming back stronger in 4yrs. lol
Lin,..waz dat how bad we were for dem 2 laff at us?..I dint watch d game..NEKS
they actually played with their mentors...
Linda that game was painfulmtonwatch, with the US using our boys for target practice. However, let's not take anything away from our boys. Getting to the Olympics is no mean feat. With the right coaching and support, they can actually challenge the top teams in 4 years. The question is, will our government invest in these boys?
Linda they are not yet out of the olympics they still ve games Vs Argentina and France . Tough admittedly but they are still in it
Lol. Men this Kobe Bryant and Lebron James should hold themselves abeg. What's that, na we come be comedy. But God them beat us, even make Olympic record on top Naija head. God dey. Don't worry #TeamNigeria a day shall come when we sef go go USA go disgrace this American boys. Lebron James laugh was so childish and jst shows himself and Kobe Bryant r not great sportsmen
I mean why is everyone surprised that we lost to the US of A? C'mon, these guys own this game! And i must say, the Nigerian team played well, it could have been worse.
I went to bed after the first half cos I already knew how it would end. First half results were bad enough *covers face*. But seriously, our boys tried sha and it was'nt pleasing to watch the US boys laugh at our faces.
No surprises there for me. We played against the best Team in the world. And our men did a great Job. They were better sportsmen than the American's as well, even after the defeat they held their head up high and complimented the people laughing at them. Honestly no shame at all. Proud of team Nigeria, we need to work hard in years to come but our boys have been great. Bless them
Well,it was a disappointment cos I watched it nd our boys could nt go on after d 3rd qurtr..they became vry weak...na so so 3point those yankee boys dey basket....since we don't hve gold,silver nor bronze,may they'll cme wth GL...

They were beaten by the best; there's no shame in that!
Miracles are birthed out of circumstance; turn your pain to power- www.princessofzion.wordpress.com/2012/08/03/pain-to-power
the nigerian team did put up a good fight , they were so positive about the whole thing even though they knew they were playing against champions but they didnt let it get to them. they played very well although they defense would have been better. Kudos to them. #Proudly Nigerian.
Chei! Well, let Kobe n Co laugh... They will soon meet dia match, then d laughter will fade away. D Tiger, Naija is solidly behind you.
Honestly they really tried..... Kudos to them.... Hopefully we should win the next match against Tunisia
King James... LORD Bryant (totally in love) and the camel ( .-.)
*beaten not *beat. As for d game they tried but could have done more at their own defence its called a #D for a reason.
linda biko get up and work na or you get somebody to help out while you are on vac. many of us rely on your blog for info nd gist even while at work. abeggi.have tried other blogs but am so addicted to you. abeg get up and work or let smone else assist you. thanks.
NYC-1 says: The game was a walk-over on Niaja team. Basketball game is a thing of skill, not 'try your luck' thing. Niaja played the best team bcos that was the matching up; is not as if Niaja played their way to the final, and then met the best team. Nigeria should just forget everything about basketball and focus on 'juju' music.
Mehn, twas embarrassing o, forget d best beat us, we lost disgracefully, but who cares we sha made our own record too,highest an African country as scored against dem
i watched the match and there was a time i saw lebron whispering into kobe's ear saying"ohh boy we go wound these guyz today". But why lebron come dey laugh like that,he was really rubbing it on our face. Anyway our boyz try shaaaa.I gave it to them.

HAAA,this us boys fall our finally,u can imagine the way dey use us dey train.#BUTMESELFLAFFO
of course they were no match for the USA team,but kudos to them for doing their best , kai but they need serious coaching and practice sha
The Nigerian men basketball team tried, we live to fight another day.I hail una!!!!!!!!!!
Kudos to the Team Nigeria. firstly for making it this far to play with the best in basket ball in the world and moreover those US guys were way taller than our guys.
abeg we tried ... first time in the olympics for basketball ... not bad
losing is a normal thing but the annoying thing is the way those fools were making fun of us.Trust me they were not being professional at all.
How are we not going to turn to laughing stock? they really smashed us but im still proud of my team, nothing to be ashamed of since we lost to best team in the world
Its nt fair laughing at us. God help us but hw can we play against USA nd win na wa o.God help us.
so I watched painfully as our boys got their ass beaten, but frankly I think in all fairness D'tigers tried. Basketball is an American thing. Didn't expect the results to have been better. Its kinda like Eyimba utd laying against Barcelona in football!! Atleast we are better than America in some other things like.....I'll get back to you guys on that one. I just hope this acts as an eye opener for our government to take sports more seriously. Damn! but I hate that its on our head history was made *sniff sniff*. P.S that Carmello guy is just real mean! and might handsome too...hehehe
We live to fight another day. I love Nigeria
"being beat" ke? See Linda gbagaun o! Ok, no vex say I see am. Guess it's something to cheer us up after that disaster of a mis-match. Anyway, I never expected us to win, just shocked that it was that bad and to think those Nigerian guys are our best, playing in the NBA. The bad part is the Ghana diss on twitter right now.
Chai.. see the way them dey laff..
well we try sha! lol
brickclicks.blogspot.com
We should invest in sports
the grin & look on their faces says it all ... "where are these baboons from?" na wa oh!
Hahaha..i wasn't xpectin a London miracle.We tried sha.At least not only did we lose d game bt we created a record 4ourselves by bein d most points conceeding team in an olympics.Naija 4live jor
Linda... u don gbagaun oo, dere is on shame in being beat by the best, ahhh... Linda. Abeg, make everybody ream am o, linda ikeji don gbagaun.
LINDA LETS CALL A SPADE THEY TAKE US TAKE SHINE AND DEY WERE LAFFING AT THEIR FATHERS AND MOTHERS NOT US.
Our Nigerian players really tried, @least they took a bold step by playing with USA team
Linda Ikeji, u don gbagaun o, there is no shame in being beat by the best. ahh... linda. why now, on your own blog again?
I watched this game and was so deeply embarrased by how dem guys kept laughing at us
CHI
chai, laugh don make me suck my aunty's breast oh...
Naija for go to villages and pick up lil children who can do better dan those women rapper, only what they knw is to sleep around wit london girls....pweeeee! Serves 'em jawe
I think nothing of the game, Naija guys really tried.. Still proud of them...
wat a shame! they should n't hav qualified
Wat does it mata, wen u don't post our comments anylonga... Fish Head. Msheeew...
LINDA, IT first appeared embarrassing though, Davis,Lebron Igodahlo and his team mates-team USA kept making 3 point shots as easy as a mashmallow,while Tigers missed many close range ones,anyways they lost to the best team-a lot of NBA guys most of us can ever dream of playing B. ball like!! but we still made history whichever way :) ..
I knew they were going to lose, after all they were playing against the best. The only thing that pissed me off was that they put up an okay offence but didn't play defence at all which was why USA got so many points.
Its A'ight we will learn from it and play better defense next two games. It was kinda expected but I guess that "chicken head" on twitter didn't expect tha cyber beatdown ! lesson - we can do bad by ourselves no help from an ghetto girl.
Hey, wat can 1 say. Kudos 2 team Nig 4 qualifying tho. Better luck nxt tym.
P.S It is UNWISE for Ghanaians(or any oda country) 2 start a war of words wit Nigerians! U'll only end up bruised frustrated n defeated! Jst sayn.
watched it felt bad but they tried their best sha, at least we made a move and stil scored.

y d #Gbagaun ....."Beat by d best" choi
They all should be ashamed of themselves...... NBA players, playing against their fans and they think its funny!. Naija boiz did impress me and am proud of them as they represented their country. Half the American team was Nigerians and they have mouth to laff..... shame
There was a positive side to that score, 76 was the highest score an African country have obtained against the NBA stars
naijabreakingnews.blogspot.com
wetin dem go find for there,hmmmm
QF
I knew d winner even b4 d game started, lol....naija try sha
Indeed Our guys lost, but they displayed a very mature attitude and were galant even in loosing the game.
'No shame in bin beat'.hmmmmm.oyibo
Ehen really no shame,u learn from d best.they should work hard on their 3 pointers.
US massacred nigeria in basket ball
Comment: our yahoo boys has assured us dat America will pay dearly for it.
Me self laugh at us while watching the game.nigerian team was just lucky to have been qualified.obviously we're not trained for international competition.dem don chop all the money to get a good coach for them...lol
tigers fall my hands. well no much blame for them, atleast they participated.
So embarrassing but they can't beat us in soccer and academics
Sometimes i think there should be T.K.O in Basketball..No shame???...Tigers became pussy cats.. See as Carmelo just dey practice 3 pointers on top our head..
Nice..but Linda please check your sentences, there is a little gbaguan somewhere in your line...*cover eyes*
Please do not forget that by scoring 70 points, it is the highest any African team has ever scored against USA. YOLO
Lol
Lol
Could it be that they did't have any training what soever? basket ball is an american game,i accept that argument,but there had been instances where a shop boy handles a trade better than his master.Na only mouth them get,grown up men fa
I never knew we had a basket ball team in Nigeria.
