D’Tigress forward Amy Okonkwo feels honored after being named the Most Valuable Player of the just-concluded 2023 FIBA Women’s AfroBasket.
Okonkwo played a huge role in helping Nigeria clinch the Women’s AfroBasket title after beating Senegal 84-74 in the final on Saturday in Kigali, Rwanda.
The victory means Nigeria became the second team to win four FIBA Women’s AfroBasket titles in a row.
Okonkwo headlined the All-Star Tournament team alongside Cierra Dillard (Senegal), Jannon Otto (Uganda), Sika Kone (Mali), and Tamara Seda (Mozambique).
