The assistant coach of NBA team, Golden State Warriors while speaking to Undefeated seek for supports from the entire continent in order to achieve their aim at the event. “We want to get the country of Nigeria and the diaspora behind us, but just as importantly, we feel like we’re going to be representing all of Africa in this Olympics,” Brown told The Undefeated. “There are a couple of other African teams that are going to have an opportunity to qualify, and we’ll see if it happens. "But right now, we are one of eight teams that are in the Olympics, and there are only four spots left. “So it’s going to be pretty competitive for the other African countries to try to make it to the Olympics." "We look at ourselves as representing all of Africa, and we’ve taken on the quote from Nelson Mandela as our mantra for this coming Olympics," he added. No African country has ever medaled in the Olympic Games in men’s basketball or advanced past the preliminary stage.
