🇵🇷 All our respect. You guys got South sudan in your back, we got our Island behinds the National team. After 20 years of being out of the Olympics 🇵🇷 we are back. Puerto Rico Basketball team got over 60 years of basketball history. Defeating the USA, Soviet Union, being #4 in the world Cup, Wining FiBA Americas tournament. This year we are looking to win it all. Was thought last time in the world cup. If we both team defeats Serbia, we got a chance to make it. Serbia is our common Enemy.

[@sarban1653]

I have a good feeling that South Sudan will become like the Lithuania of Africa, a basketball obsessed nation thanks to their team's success in the Basketball World Cup and playing in the Olympics. It started off with South Sudanese diaspora pushing the team high and will result in their whole country loving basketball. A similar story happened in Lithuania and Greece where the sport became popular there as a result of the American diaspora lifting their national teams.

[@itsjamesrush]

Love this msg! I have the same feeling for South Sudan. They will be a powerhouse in basketball 💯

[@robertotampioc7318]

I hope it will happen… all of African countries are too much obsess with football… South Sudan might change that… and it should to have some parity between football and other sports

[@cristiano7ronaldoTHEGOAT]

​@@robertotampioc7318 No offense but Africans are built for the sport of basketball. They can dominate in this sport.

[@rbermea]

The Sudanese team jumped 32 spots from 63rd to 31st in the FIBA World rankings. Rising stars indeed. Former NBA all-star Luol Deng has done a good job bringing back basketball to his home country that has being going through a lot of issues with their own civil war.
