Cheering crowds greeted them at Juba International Airport after they narrowly missed out on a quarter-final spot in Paris. Among the well-wishers was the country’s Vice President, Rebecca Nyandeng. The team’s success is largely credited to former NBA star Luol Deng, who heads South Sudan’s Basketball Federation. Speaking after he got off the plane, he praised his players for putting their country on the sporting map. He also highlighted what sets them apart, saying: ‘What makes us so unique? We are playing for something different than just basketball.’ He can say that again. South Sudan is the world’s youngest country, and after gaining independence in 2011, Deng set about creating a national basketball side. Like himself, a lot of players are refugees and have shown a resilience that’s got them competing with the world’s best. The Bright Stars beat Puerto Rico in their Olympic opener and narrowly lost to the USA and Serbia. They also came within a whisker of beating the USA in a pre-Olympic friendly. It’s an amazing story that’s made them a symbol of unity, pride and hope for South Sudanese people. Their achievement is perfectly summed up by Deng in this clip, as he speaks with thousands of fans. --------------------SOCIAL----------------------- FACEBOOK - INSTAGRAM - TIKTOK - @africanstream TWITTER -
