African Basketball League with Ugo Udezue

Success as we know is never easy to come by, except with hard work.

On the 6^th of June 1946, Basketball Association was founded in New York City. The league soon adopted the name National BasketballAssociation on the 3 of August 1949; after teaming up with its rival: National Basketball League (NBL). The setting up and formation of the NBA was not an easy job either, but it focused through hard work and today spurring through 29 states in America.

Again, a similar struggle has commenced in Africa, but this time not by a group, or a state, but by just one man: Ugo Udezue, Ugo was know for his hard work during his college basketball years;  Sam McClain, coach of head men's basketball team at the Wyoming University once said; "I would like to have a whole team of players like the Nigerian players Ugo Udezue and Uche Nsonwu Amadi because of how hard they work".

 

Having gone through Wyoming University,where he studied communication, Ugo Udezue decided to go into his dream and passion of giving younger Africans the opportunity to achieve their dreams and leave the streets. 

ABL which is barely six months old, with up to six teams, has completed its debut session where the Abidjan Ramblers were crowned. Udezue shared that it was a success! and has drawn more than six more teams wanting to be part of the game when the second session dunks off in October.

This is the beginning of a mighty "net" work. Africans youth! Africans dream! Go and achieve!
