BASKETBALL NBL Playoffs: Key Players to watch in the KIU Titans vs City Oilers finals
The National Basketball League finals are set to ignite on Friday, with the City Oilers and KIU Titans clashing in a 2017 finals rematch.
“I think it’s time to stop exploitation of young talents signing heavy contracts with them but after joining your teams they become beggars, frustrated their talents get demolished and they claim to have goals of developing from grassroots. No this should stop” Okoth posted and tagged FUBA on X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday.
