D’tigers star, Jahlil Okafor says he is optimistic about the chances of the team succeeding in Tokyo.

The Detroit Pistons player missed the historic win against the USA but returned to the court for the win against Argentina and Australia.

Okafor scored 15 points and had 7 rebounds on his debut for Nigeria against Nigeria on a night that D’Tigers defeated the number four ranked team 94-71pts.

“It gives all of us the confidence to go out there and perform at a high level just like we did against the USA and Argentina.”

“My team gives me all the confidence. They tell me to go out there and be aggressive, be myself and have fun.”

“After the big win against the USA and against Argentina, the message was to take care of business and avoid any letdown,” Okafor revealed.

Nigeria is grouped alongside Germany, Australia, and Italy for the Olympics which is between the 25th of July to the 7th of August, 2021.
