“LeBron James saves United States from offensive in South Sudan,” Juba radio station Eye Radio writes in one of its articles. In London, South Sudanese basketball players understood that they were very close to achieving a great feat against the Americans.
After leading the score in a good part of the attack, the Bright Stars were defeated in the final seconds thanks to a shot by the Los Angeles Lakers star in the NBA. Final score: 101-100 for Team USA “The meeting with the United States was an agreement that the South Sudanese people had been waiting for for a long time. A victory would have unleashed immense euphoria in this war-torn country, which is earning a new appearance around the world thanks to basketball,” the site adds.
The foreign press did not remain oblivious to this functionality either. And even more so when the South Sudanese national team will once again conquer the Paris Olympic Games at a mid-level level: the only representative of the African continent in basketball, it begins its tournament this Sunday, July 28 against Puerto Rico, a non-Inca territory.
