Basketball in Africa

City Oilers’ center Kami Kabange and KCCA Leopards’ point guard Flavia Okecho were today morning voted as the best basketball players in their respective categories for the year 2015.
The pair was named by the Uganda Sports Press Association members at their monthly gathering at Imperial Royale Hotel.
Kabange led his side to their third straight league title, he was also pivotal in his side’s second place finish at the Zone 5 Club Championship held in Kigali, Rwanda.
He will also be expected to be a front runner for the MVP award when the FUBA Awards dinner is held later this month.
For Okecho, her displays with the national team in the Women’s Afrobasket championship held in Cameroon were unrivaled.
She also led her KCCA side to second spot at the Zone 5 Club championship in Rwanda to qualify for the Afro Club Championship in Angola.
