Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The newly appointed General Secretary of the Liberia Basketball Association (LBA) Calvin Diggs, has described the recent lifting of the recent preliminary injunction on the association as an indication that there would soon be a revolution in Liberia basketball development.Me.Diggs made this assertion when several former and current basketball players paid him a courtesy visit on Thursday, December 14, 2023 at his office in Monrovia.<\/p>\n

According to the LBA General Secretary, \u201cmy position is consistent that beyond football, Liberia has talents and competences in several other sports and our ascendancy in basketball is no longer stoppable.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can tell confidently that basketball is on the rise again in Liberia. The amount of talent we have in the country, leaves us no choice but to excell. Liberia basketball will always be great,\u201d he enthused.<\/p>\n

He believes that under their watch, basketball will have a revolution that will transcend the national team.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope to have effective grassroots penetration of basketball youngsters to start a project that would have a basketball program in at least all the counties\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Speaking further, he lamented the country could make improvement in their basketball if adequate funds are provided.<\/p>\n

\u201d As an active sports association, basketball does not have a big budget but survives with the little support it gets from the government and its sponsors, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201d I want people to understand that you can only reap what you sow; we must begin to invest in the long-term,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
