Young Basketball Player Wants To Be Like Jordan
A 10-year-old basket
ball sensation, Victor Bormini, said on Thursday in Abuja that his aim in the game was to play like Michael Jordan, an ex-American basketball star.
Bormini, a student of Christ Academy College, Yenagoa, told newsmen that his choice of Jordan as role model was because of his achievements.
He spoke to newsmen on his selection for the scholarship award and a U.S. visa by the Ejike Ugboaja Basketball Foundation.
Bormini, who took to basketball at the age of eight, was selected for the foundation’s scholarship following his excellent performance at the 2013 Nestle Milo Basketball Zonal competition in Enugu.
He said that he was looking forward to a blossoming career in basketball in the U.S.
“The scholarship came about after I was selected in a basketball summer camp I attended in Uyo in June, 2013 which was organised by Ejike Ugboaja Foundation,’’ the player said.
