Rivers State Sports Commissioner, Chris Green has rewarded Rivers Hoopers for their performance at the Nigeria Premier Basketball League, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The KingsMen finished the Atlantic Conference in Benin on Saturday with seven matches unbeaten. Coach Odoh Odaudu appreciated the Rivers Sports Commissioner for motivating the players with 1 million naira for each win in the conference.

"I think it's something that motivated the players even more; the boys don't like to hear anything about money. If you bet with them, you are certain to lose.

 "The Commissioner has been very good to us; he has been the pillar of this team, we thank him for that, and we are looking forward to getting the money he promised us.''

The KingsMen returned to Port Harcourt on Sunday to prepare for the final eight billed for 13-19 November in a yet-to-be-decided venue.
