Opong To Feature For Hoopers At BAL

Ahead of the inaugural Basketball Africa League, new signing for Rivers Hoopers Basketball Club, Robinson Opong has said he is ready to represent the club in Kigali, Rwanda.
It would be recalled that Opong was signed to be the replacement for injured 2015 NBA Champion, with Golden State Warriors, Festus Ezeli.
Speaking for the first time since he was announced as a player for the Hoopers, the Ugandan international anticipates representing the KingsMen during BAL, stating that there was no way he would have rejected the offer.
“When the offer came, it felt like the right thing to do. Now I can’t wait to get out there and represent the club and its fans in Kigali.”
After sealing deals for four players, some fans have said the KingsMen should be able to get at least a podium finish, but Opong says the player’s health will be a major factor that could decide their title ambitions.
“I think we have what it takes to make a push in the tournament. I pray that everyone stays healthy so we can accomplish big things together”.
