NPBL: We Are Ready To Retain Our Title - Rivers Hoopers Captain

Rivers Hoopers captain Victor Anthony Koko says the team is fully prepared to defend their Nigeria Premier Basketball League title as the 2025 Final Four tips off from November 21 to 23 in Port Harcourt. The Hoopers, unbeaten champions in 2023 and 2024, are chasing a historic three-peat and a seventh league crown. They face strong opposition from Lagos Legends, Gboko City Chiefs, and Nigeria Customs, with a Basketball Africa League slot also on the line. Koko says the KingsMen are “mentally prepared” and focused on retaining their championship, promising fans they will not be let down on home soil. Port Harcourt fans now wait to see if their team can extend its dominance as Nigeria’s top basketball side.
