Ezekiel Tobechukwu “Zeke” Nnaji is on cloud nine after winning his first NBA title with the Denver Nuggets.
The 22-year-old, born to a Nigerian father and an American mother, is excited to have achieved a feat some established superstars still dream of.
“I know a lot of superstars who haven’t won championships, and so to be in this position is incredibly humbling, and I’m super grateful,” Nnaji said in an interview with the BBC, before the season-ending game against the Miami Heat on Monday.
