-Luc Richard Mbah à Mouté (Milwaukee Bucks-Usa)
Looks like he might miss competition because of... the Bucks :rolleyes:

[zlim]

This is a good group of players...they only need to work well, be well couaching and clear all the organizations problem's to become a real strong team.

[Nikoo]

They wont be eliminated without making some noise. They can upset, or at least give a scare to Croatia and Puerto Rico

[rikhardur]

I'm actually surprised the Cameroon didn't have much success previously, their NT looks pretty good in the African context and not only. Many players playing abroad and in top leagues. Let's see what they can do.

[JGX]

I don't remember Cameroon even competing in Afrobasket until last year. As with many African teams, organization is 90% of the battle. The other 10% is whether they have any guards.

They did come close qualifying for the U21 worlds in 2005, losing to Nigeria by one point in the African U20 final on a last-second shot. I don't think that team had Mbah a Moute or Aboya either.

[Mojado]

Biggest concern: Guard play.Bitee and Boli may not be ready to face Puerto Rico's guards and the same goes for Croatia.Jo Ekanga is the most experienced guard on the team, but he cant handle it alone.
They are pretty stacked on the wings but on the center spot, there is only Boumtje-Boumtje on an international level.Mbah A Moute might opt for the Summerleague which leaves the team without their best defender.
Coach is Lazare Adingono (Canisius), a former player himself (Rhode Island).
He is only the assistant coach, but is in reality running the team in front of the local coach that the government has sent...
They are playing a tournament in Paris against Lebanon,Cabo Verde and an All-Star Team from Paris this week.
Stephane Pelle and Brice Vounang will be their biggest offensive weapons from what I know and you can scratch Bayang and Elong off the roster due to visa problems.

[JGX]

If I am understanding this correctly, the game against Cape Verde was cancelled:

True, the Cameroon had some late demands.

[Khalid80]

True, the Cameroon had some late demands.

I heard that there were some financial problems with the Camerooni Team and that they were facing problems with the French Basketball Federation which is why they withdrew from the friendly tournament in France before heading for Athens.
Thus the tournament in France will now include the following teams: Lebanon, Cape Verde, and a group of international African players (Instead of Cameroon).

Cameroon is going through the same issues that Nigeria and Senegal went through two years ago during their preparations for the World Championships. Compared to Europe and most of the top programs in Asia and the Americas, African basketball federations are having difficulties securing funding from both the private and public sector. Although the sport has been played for decades on the continent, from an organizational standpoint, most national teams from Africa (with the exception of Angola, and maybe Algeria and Egypt) are loosely ran and grossly underfunded, resulting in a lack of resources both on and off the court. Under these conditions, it really puts countries like Cameroon, Senegal and Nigeria, all with immense potential for NBA/Euroleague type talent, at a real disadvantage when facing better organized and funded countries in other parts of the world. Along with a boost from government sports agencies, corporate sponsorships could aid these countries tremendously, but I imagine (correct me if I'm wrong) that basketball is such a distant second to football/soccer or other sports that most of the fledgling money from African countries' private sector funds go towards these sports, which stunts the development of basketball programs. It's a shame. African teams deserve to be on equal footing with the rest of the world.

Yo Federoy!
I agree with u bro. I lived in Africa before and everyone there is crazy about soccer. The only country in Africa where basketball is more popular is in Angola and maybe now Cape Verde.

I can totally believe it bro. Years ago, I once worked with a guy from Nigeria. He would actually have his relatives back gome mail him VHS tapes of Nigeria's football qualification matches (I assumed he had a universal or PAL reading VCR). The man was crazy about football, but if I brought up basketball I would get a blank stare and he would sometimes say that basketball is an "American sport played by only Americans." Of course he was totally wrong. The sport has been played globally since at lease the 1920s, and is currently the only North America originated sport that is played on all six continents.

Unfortunately, because of the lack of serious investment, basketball's growth on the contintent is limited in terms of facilities, equipment, coaching, travelling, promotion and everything else associated with the sport.

[mvblair]

Unfortunately, because of the lack of serious investment, basketball's growth on the contintent is limited in terms of facilities, equipment, coaching, travelling, promotion and everything else associated with the sport. That´s a complete understatement, man. Because of that, it´s no wonder a lot of these players develop overseas.

After losing to Croatia, the Cameroon are considering to leave the pre-Olympic tournament due to economic problems... Boumtje Boumtje: "We're tired of it".

[damelo]

Well, the players went on strike to protest against the conditions, and the fact they didn't receive their money promised after the last CAN. And also because they want a 400€ (262400 Fcfa) per day indemnity for the Olympics, and not 500Fcfa... ANd other things. Last year, the federation had not planned to send a team to the CAN anyway, all was organized by some players. ^^.

[PHILIPeurobasket]

Harding Nana :rolleyes: he didnt show in last season in Turow, 1-2 minutes in every game and now in first game he has 24 points and today against Puerto Rico 22 ... respect :cool:

[Nikoo]

My boys are out, but at least they made some noise.
They lost the games against Croatia and P. Rico only because they had two brain farts - 2nd Q against Croatia(200 turnovers in a row) and 1st Q against Puerto Rico.
If Cameroon had NBA/Euroleague/ULEB/ACB/NBDL guard that means at least one victory.

Cameroon have the potential not for only one victory but for many...the only thing they must do is not follow the way of work of Nigeria, senegal and others.

So true, even in the face of losses Cameroon made ferocious comebacks in both games, and they showed that they belonged despite all those that complain that African and Asian countries do not belong.

In addition to holding their heads high for playing out the games for pride, they represented their country well and they have a bright future. Now only if they can get support from their internal administration.

Wild Cards: "I am hopeful that Cameroon will be getting the opportunity to compete against the very best in the world" (http://www.fiba.com/pages/eng/fc/inte/blog/allPost/p/lid_9859_newsid/37474/blog.html)
- Merhaba!

I had the chance to talk to Cameroon's national-team coach Lazar Adingono regarding Cameroon's effort to get one of the wild-cards for Turkey 2010.


http://newbasketball.n.e.pic.centerblog.net/g6a3711v.jpg

[B]Lazare, this past summer, Joe Touomou led the Cameroonian national-team to a fourth place finish in Libya. Are you now back on the coaching seat for Cameroon again?
Joe Touomou worked tirelessly in an effort to get the National team ready to compete in the African Nations Cup and in a short period of time. He did a great job under the circumstances the team was giving to him. I am back on board and I am in for the long hall.

There has been interest by Cameroon to obtain one of the wild-cards for the World Championships in Turkey 2010. How far goes the interest and has there been an official word so far by the federation?

Kris, I think President Nduku and his entire administration together with the help of the Ministry of sports have put the country's best effort forward and presented Cameroon's appeal to the committee which is assigned to reward the most deserving countries with a wild card. I am confident that the committee will look at the entire body of work that Cameroon has done in the past few years and may afford us an opportunity to continue to develop basketball not only in Cameroon but in Africa as a whole.


http://www.fecabasket.com/IMG/jpg/Angola2.jpg

I heard that the preparation for the African Championships 2009 went down in Cameroon and without any notable opponents. If Cameroon gets one of the wild-cards, will it be finally able to practice under professional circumstances?

I think the Federation did a great job bringing the team into the camp but let me take a look into the future: I am now serving as an associate coach at Erie Community College with Alex Nwora the current head basketball coach for the Cape Verde National Team and we have access to a state of the art facility which will enable us to train in the United States all year around. I believe all is being put in place to ensure that we prepare very well in the event the committee grants us one of the four wild cards available.
I already started working with the Federation in putting a plan in order to have very good preparations by contacting a number of NBA, NDBL, ABA, and also other countries to hold friendly games.

How would you rate the chances of your country for a wild-card and how would you see your chances succeeding in Turkey 2010?

Kris, I am hopeful that Cameroon will be getting the opportunity to compete against the very best in the world. If my memory serves me well, a year ago, we showed the world what we are capable of in Athens and gave both Croatia and Puerto Rico all pretty good fight while representing the African continent in the Pre-Olympic Qualifiers.


http://www.journalducameroun.com/images/articles/6/1249462561369.jpg

What are your personal plans for the near future?

I am currently serving as an associate coach at Erie Community College and I am working with the youth worldwide in an effort to give hope to many aspiring young men and women and to let them continue of dreaming big and of achieving their goals in life.

Thanks for taking the time to talk to us and good luck for December, 13th!

* In 25-plus years of covering Boo’s tournament, it never fails: I go to check out one player and come away impressed with another. Such was the case with Team Takeover from the Washington, D.C. area.

DeMatha High forward Jerami Grant, brother of Clemson’s Jerai and son of former Clemson and NBA player Harvey, was the target. He seemed fluid enough before exiting the game after a nasty spill, but Takeover’s eye-opener was small forward Arnaud Adala-Moto from the Episcopal School in Alexandria.

First this 6-foot-7 junior drove the right baseline and elevated for a nasty tomahawk dunk. Then he pulled up for a left-wing 3-pointer. Pure. Then he handled smoothly in transition and penetrated for a layup.

Just a glimpse, mind you, but very striking. Comrade Josh Barr of the Washington Post reports that Adala-Moto was discovered in Cameroon by the NBA’s Basketball Without Borders programs and has more than a dozen scholarship suitors, including Wake Forest and Seton Hall.

That will be a very good experience for Cameroon, facing China and Serbia.

[sinobball]

Two Cameroonian players are playing in Malaysia's NBL: Chris Kuete and Gaston Essengue.

[Mojado]

There will be no trip to China. Currently, the Ministry of Sports is not giving out any money for the first stages of training. The national-team may travel to Morocco, who invited them and maybe to Serbia due to Peak, who are sponsoring Cameroon. Also, they are sending out the tickets for the players now and there won't be a big selection of players. Mbah A Moute is in Yaounde currently, but even though local newspapers report, that he might be playing, I think he won't.

I wish all players that have abnormal behavior with their heart to take it seriously and make tests so they can make the right decisions concerning their career. I want to thank all teams and coaches that I had the chance to play for them. It was a big gift to have worked with so manygreat players. I also value the support of the fans.

Basketball, Lions in Camp

They are preparing for a tournament in China to run from July 16 to 28.
Players of the national basketball team are in camp at the Yaounde sports complex to prepare for a tournament in China. During the tournament, the basketball Lions will play against five Chinese clubs. So far, only three of the five professionals invited have responded present and three more are expected from France today together with a French coach, Perrain Michel, who will offer a helping hand to the Cameroon basketball federation. They are sorting out visa modalities to China from France before boarding the plane for Cameroon.
According to the coach who will accompany the team for the Chinese expedition, Lumumba Monikang, the tournament is organised by the official sponsor of the basketball national team, Peak, to serve as preparation for the qualifying series for the Africa Cup of Nations in basketball to begin in September. Monikang says he is working on the individual technics of the players and when the other coaches arrive, they will work on tactics. It is worthy to note it is the second time Cameroon is being invited to China for the tournament. Last year the basketball lions were unable to travel because of financial difficulties. The team captain, Gaston Essengue expressed the wish for Cameroon to multiply such initiatives so as to raise the level of Cameroonian basketball.
During the qualifiers, Cameroon will play in zone 4 with opponents such as Gabon, Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea and Congo. The best performance of the Cameroon national basketball team was in 2007 when they won the silver medal at the FIBA African championship in Angola.

I'm aware of 3 of their games in China: vs. Fujian (18th), Dongguan (19th) and Tianjin (21st). Not sure about the other 2 games. Dongguan will play some imports since they always have foreign players on their squad year-round as practice players.

[Afrobasket 2013] – Mbah a Moute (CMR) : " I'll be present with the national team"

Absent in 2009 and 2011, the forward of Milwaukee Bucks, Luc Mbah a Moute let know that he would like to play Afrobasket 2013 with the Cameroon team.
Author of a good season NBA despite the elimination in the first round of play-offs by Miami Heat, Mbah a Moute aim for new challenge: the Afrobasket 2013.

" I was contacted by the Federation a few months ago I still wait for answers, mainly about the insurances. But as a rule so everything goes well with my health, I'll be present with the national team this summer. "

About the group of Cameroon, he said: " I think that it is a very difficult pool. In my opinion, it is the most difficult pool of the tournament. All the teams have capacities to finish first or second of the group. From the point of view of the prize list, concerning the potential and of the roster, Cameroon and Nigeria are favourites. But the most important for us, it will be to finish first to avoid a team coming from Angola’s group."

It is moreover against this Angolan team that Luc Mbah has Moute and his teamates had been defeated (86-72), in finale of his only one Afrobasket in 2007. " For me, that was a great experience. I always wanted to relive that.. " But, unfortunately some contractual situations or injuries prevent me . [] I like representing my country, I like participating in the tournament as player NBA, I like helping in the development of the basketball in Africa ".
Mbah has Moute will be a key player for the Cameroon.
