Olisa Akonobi '18 Recruiting Profile

Growing up, basketball has been my second religion and playing comes natural to me. I knew from age 11 that basketball will be an integral part of my life. At 6ft 11inches, my height gives me an added advantage amongst others. I was a top players in my high school and I train regularly in a basketball court in Abuja, Nigeria.

I am relentless in my drive and pursuit in getting to the top, breaking barriers and starting a career in professional basketball. I strongly believe I have what it takes to excel in what I am most truly passionate about. Basketball makes me feel alive, liberated and happy. In the long run, i hope to open a basketball training centre for teenagers in Africa.

I hope to get recruited this year and be part of a great team !! 

Thank you...
