Former D’Tigers star and Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri is confident that would make a great impact at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games billed for July.

Ujiri, who played for Nigeria at the AfroBasket ’97 in Senegal leading to Nigeria’s first World Championship appearance in Greece 1998 told olympicchannel.com that that he is looking forward to cheering on his country’s basketball team in Japan.

“I support the Nigerian national team. I’m happy Coach Brown is on that team, and Coach Alex [Nwora]. I think they’re going to raise the level a little bit beyond the standard kind of tournament.

“I think with the right preparation, with the right organisation, I think Musa Kida – the [Nigerian basketball federation] president – hopefully is beginning to put things together and understand the big picture. We have a lot of athletes playing in college basketball.

“When we start to understand these things a little bit better, and prepare better, we will do better.”

Ujiri hopes, with Nigeria being able to call on an impressive – and growing – number of NBA players either from the country or of Nigerian descent, D’Tigers can make their mark.
