D'Tigers' victory over Team USA and Argentina has been dedicated to Sound Sultan's memory by the Nigeria Basketball Federation (NBBF).
The late musician, a devoted basketball aficionado, assisted in the development of the sport in Lagos' Festac neighborhood.
DON'T MISS:
He died early on July 11th, while the Nigerian basketball team was celebrating a historic 90-87 win over Team USA in an Olympic friendly.
After a four-year fight with angioimmunoblastic t-cell lymphoma, he died.
The Nigerian Basketball Federation (NBBF) took to its verified Twitter profile after the Nigerian basketball team's comfortable win over Argentina, the world's fourth-best team, on Tuesday to tribute the two major victories to the late musician.
“We dedicate our triumphs against the United States and Argentina to the late Olanrewaju Fasasi,” said the team (Sound Sultan). You anticipated Nigeria's rise to prominence as a worldwide basketball powerhouse. Ironically, you gave up the ghost on the day we defeated Team USA. “Rest in peace,” the tweet concluded.
